It is a bit hard to find out the intention from reading the source, and I am not motivated enough to find out, given that it is fixed with the commit I referred you to. To save you time: the idea of the commit I referred you to is not exactly to use the basename, but the trimmed names. Now only sets of unique names (where it is also checked that a name could not be mistaken for another, deleted file) are passed to cvs status. BTW next time you search for some fix in Git's source code, you might want to use either "git log -- <file>" or "git bisect" to find the commit in question.
