From: Tao Klerks <tao@xxxxxxxxxx> In its current state, the t7519 test dealing with untracked cache assumes that "git update-index --untracked-cache" will *populate* the untracked cache. This is not correct - it will only add an empty untracked cache structure to the index. If we're going to compare two git status runs with something interesting happening in-between, we need to ensure that the index is in a stable/steady state *before* that first run. Achieve this by adding another prior "git status" run. At this stage this change does nothing, because there is a bug, addressed in the next patch, whereby once the empty untracked cache structure is added by the update-index invocation, the untracked cache gets updated in every subsequent "git status" call, but the index with these updates does not get written down. That bug actually invalidates this entire test case - but we're fixing that next.
