I can't seem to get git status to return that a file has changed. I think my environment is hosed up, but I don't know for sure. My machine is ubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMPx86_64 GNU/Linux . I set up a test repo and it added one file to it , modified the file and saved . Doing git status returns nothing, git gui finds no modified files. Doing git add * finds the modified file and stages it. I can get someone a strace for the git status it is only about a 1 page.
