Here's the anonymous clone URL (the one you provided is private)
$ git clone git://github.com/xenoterracide/portage.git

I followed the steps above and did not run into any such issues.
$ git status
# On branch regen2
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
$ git version
git version 1.6.1.28.gc32f76
(Junio's latest master at the moment)
Here's my quick guess based on what I'm seeing --
The files you mention contain CRLF. Do you have core.autocrlf set
globally somewhere, perhaps in your ~/.gitconfig?
It's possible that the autocrlf stuff is messing with those files.
They seem to be a mix of both unix LF and CRLF (the CRLF stuff doesn't
start until line 104 of
x11-themes/metacity-themes/files/metacity-themes-1.0-gentoo.diff, for
example, which is kinda odd but maybe be intentional?)
Check your autocrlf settings.
The following commands print out nothing for me:
$ git config core.autocrlf
$ git config --global core.autocrlf
Anyways.. like I said -- I couldn't reproduce your problem so this is
pure speculation on my part =)
Good luck,
