This is an artifact of using a case-insensitive file system.  There is a
directory called "extensions" and so git has not checked out the file
"EXTENSIONS", as there's already a file system object.  It therefore
sees it as deleted, since git tracks only files (and not really
directories, but trees of files).

This repository is always going to show as modified on a
case-insensitive file system.  You can either ask the maintainers to
change it, or reformat your disk with a case-sensitive file system.
