Thanks again for your feedback, guys!

Ok, I've done it and tracked it down. Unfortunately my MacBook has no access to the company network or internet (must get an iPhone ;-), so I cannot copy&paste my finding.

For now I can you give this: 1.5.6.rc1.24.gd629 fails 1.5.6.rc1.23.g6c2ce works

The commit was on Jun 5, 14:47:50 by Marius Storm-Olsen and the relevant file is wt-status.c.

Ok, I think I found the issue. I enabled showUntrackedFiles in my gitconfig:
status.showUntrackedFiles = all

On the one hand it makes sense to list submodule folder as untracked files. Then again it feels wrong because it is a registered submodule. Hm :-)

Anyway, bisect is really impressive!

Yours, Lars
