Strange. I tried to reproduce this but I got different results (the new commit includes in a change to closing.txt). What am I doing wrong?

 git init repo
 cd repo

 echo 'hello world' >file.txt
 git add .
 git commit -m 'Initial version of repo, a test repository'

 echo closing >closing.txt
 git add closing.txt
 git commit -m 'Goodbye, all'

 echo 'hi!' >>file.txt
 echo 'again?' >>closing.txt
 git add closing.txt

 git checkout
 git diff --cached

 git commit -m 'closing again'
 git log -p
