git commit -a reports untracked files after a clone

Hi,

I have a problem with git on OS X 10.6.7

5102c6173c5a1c683dfdd8ccd07528adddd51745 is the first bad commit

This is how you can reproduce the problem:
1. clone a repo
2. run the command "git commit -a"

I would expect: nothing to commit (working directory clean) Instead it reports: nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Starting with commit 

SHA: 8c8674fc954d8c4bc46f303a141f510ecf264fcd Author: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Date: Fri Mar 25 2011 19:13:31 GMT+0100 (CET)

the following behaviour can be observed when these three commands are run in this order:

1. git commit -a 
   nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
2. git status
   nothing to commit (working directory clean)
3. git commit -a
   nothing to commit (working directory clean)

So "git status" makes the untracked files "go away".

Cheers,

Philipp
