Nope, it was an blank test repo .
Did git init
git add *
(which added a few text files)
did git commit -m "just a test"
Modified the file , did git status and I get nothing . git-gui
displays nothing . I think I hosed up something , either some dynamic
lib or something.
doing git status * gives me the files.
