I'd like to rescind my bug report.

A bit more further investigation revealed that git was detecting the file with changes as jquery.datatables.js but the file in my directory was reported as being named jquery.dataTables.js .

I'm currently working on OS X 10.9, and this issue is probably related more to the case-preservation of the file system rather than git itself.
