I cannot reproduce this:

$ git bisect start kvm-70 kvm-69
Bisecting: 846 revisions left to test after this
[80bfc25f42db6d4715c7688ae2352c5a8038fe7e] ntfs: le*_add_cpu conversion
$ find . -type f |wc -l
24286
$ git bisect reset
Previous HEAD position was 80bfc25... ntfs: le*_add_cpu conversion
Switched to branch "master"
$ find . -type f |wc -l
24384

Could you give more information, like your git version and the result of the above commands?

Thanks, Christian.
