Cloned repository has file changes -> bug?

Dear all,

I think our git repository is bugged. The reason why I say this is the following. When cloning the repository, the newly cloned repository immediately has file changes. Steps to reproduce and illustration is at the end of this email. Git checkout does not work to remove the file changes. This behavior seems to be reproducible across multiple computers. Is this a bug? How can I fix the repository?

Thanks in advance for the support!

Filip
