Aw: Re: [Bug report] 'git status' always says "Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'"

Hi Jiang,

this happens with all of my repo clones (I am using V1.8.5.2 on Windows and on Linux). Steps to reproduce:

mkdir repo_a && cd repo_a && git init . echo "1">foo && git add foo && git commit -m "1" cd .. git clone repo_a repo_b cd repo_a echo "2">foo && git add foo && git commit -m "2" cd ../repo_b git status git checkout -b "branch" git checkout master

'git status' and 'git checkout master' in repo_b are now reporting "Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'" which is obviously wrong.
