This is on Cygwin, package git-1.6.4.2-1 [1]: michael@wladimir:/cygdrive/m/REPOS6.TECH.git :-) git st # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) Note: This repository is a fresh conversion from a subversion repository. As mentioned, this is Cygwin on XP Home, and the filesystem is NTFS. michael@wladimir:/cygdrive/m/REPOS6.TECH.git :-) cd comp Note: The directory I've cd'd into is not a submodule, just a regular part of the working copy. michael@wladimir:/cygdrive/m/REPOS6.TECH.git/comp :-) git st # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: mw/wsdl-version.txt # modified: net/httpsrvr/iis6.wodo # ... and about 100 more of that ... I would expect the output of git status to be consistent regardless of my position in the working directory. Git bug, Cygwin issue, or some oversight of mine?
