What is to "re-zip"? You have a .zip file that contains a single file in your work tree, and the index and the tree objects record that single file deflated? When you "check out" from the index, you run smudge to create a new .zip file with that single file? >> Is this the expected behaviour of the smudge filter? > > I've observed this, too, and I don't think it is expected behavior.

Otherwise as far as git is concerned you have changed the file in the work tree.
