Files need updating following a clone?

This is really strange and I'm wondering if anyone here can help me out.

I just cloned a remote repository and when I execute a 'git status' right after it says that some files need to be updated:

utsd.txt:   needs update

If I just cloned a remote repo how did these files get modified? How can I make git realize that these files aren't modified? Further, if I clone to a different machine then the git on that machine doesn't indicate that any files were modified (??).

Thanks in advance!
