Can you show what the diff actually looked like, and your exact command history? If it was something like git clone remote-repo localdir cd localdir vi somefile git diff then you did everything right, and if it gives any diff other than your changes to "somefile", something is buggy. Need more info. Does "git diff" and "git diff HEAD" give different results, btw?
