gitk pays too much attention to file timestamps

Hi, list!

OS X 10.6.3 Git 1.7.0.4

When I "touch" a file, gitk lists it in "local uncommitted changes, not checked in to index" (without a difference, just a name). I believe that it should not.

Git status, and git commit do ignore such files.

After git reset --hard, gitk stops seeing changes as expected.

See steps to reproduce below.

HTH, Alexander.

$ mkdir touch $ cd touch $ git init $ echo "A" > alpha $ git add alpha $ git commit -m "alpha" $ touch alpha $ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) $ gitk --all

Observe "local uncommitted changes, not checked in to index"
