Repo corrupted somehow?

I was just git commit'ing, and then I was doing a git rebase to squash several commits into one when the rebase failed. I then did a git checkout -f master git reset --hard but no matter what I do, git thinks that several files have changed. The diff shows all the lines in these several files removed and then added, yet without any changes made to them. git reset --hard doesn't revert the change. When I jump around history with git checkout these files remain in their "changed" state. I even tried "git clone" to create a whole new repo, but one of these several files STILL registered as changed before I made any changes.

Any idea what's wrong and how to recover?

Observe the below command buffer: (I can upload my repo so you can clone it and perhaps repro it if you want).
