Modified files directly after clone

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm experiencing a strange problem with one of my GIT repositories. The repo is hosted on my Debian 5 server with gitosis. I clone the repo to my Mac OS X 10.6 notebook. Directly after cloning the repository, there are already some modified files which are "Changed but not updated".

This is how I do it: 

==== bash start ==== beninb:Desktop beni$ mkdir tmp beninb:Desktop beni$ cd tmp beninb:tmp beni$ git clone git@gmuasch:ife-maemo.git git Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/beni/Desktop/tmp/git/.git/ remote: Counting objects: 43316, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (33045/33045), done. remote: Total 43316 (delta 10942), reused 42064 (delta 9790) Receiving objects: 100% (43316/43316), 518.25 MiB | 640 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (10942/10942), done. Checking out files: 100% (68385/68385), done. beninb:tmp beni$ cd git/ beninb:git beni$ git status # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: source/crn/toolbox/doc/html/classVector.html # modified: source/maemo-beagle/www/files/maemo5-alpha/kernel-2.6.28/Documentation/IO-mapping.txt # some more lines # modified: source/maemo-beagle/www/files/maemo5-alpha/kernel-2.6.28/net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c # modified: source/maemo-kernel/kernel-2.6.28/Documentation/IO-mapping.txt # some more lines # modified: source/maemo-kernel/kernel-2.6.28/net/netfilter/xt_TCPMSS.c # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

==== bash end ====

"gmuasch" is an SSH-alias for my Debian server git diff gives the following: http://pastie.org/861916

On my server, I'm running git version 1.6.2.4. Locally on my Mac, I have git version 1.6.2. But there were some commits done from Ubuntu 9.10 with git 1.7.0.1.

Those folders are SVN checkouts: source/crn source/maemo-beagle But source/maemo-kernel is not a SVN checkout.

I tried the same procedure on a different machine (running Debian 5, git version 1.6.2.4), and did not have any modified files after cloning the repo. 

How can this happen? Does my Mac somehow interfere with the newly cloned repository?
