Just FYI, this is bug in core git's diff-cache; also, when you update the cache properly (either do

	git rm Makefile

or

	update-cache --remove Makefile

), it works fine. diff-cache should still not fail so horribly, though.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to debug it now. I will look at it tomorrow if noone will fix it before. ;-)
