Actually, this only finds the problem in the current 'next', where git-status barfs with an error, and not in the first commit that exhibits the problem, where only the results are incorrect.

I tried making a "git commit" test, but it seems that the commit actually happens correctly (although if you do not specify -m, it does a run_status, and ends up barfing). So the problem really is that the index is screwed up after we decide what to commit but before we do the status.
