Thanks for the report. This isn't a whole lot of information to go on. At least, I'm not able to reproduce locally with a trivial repository:

    git init
    echo foo > file
    git add file
    git commit -mtest
    git status

If you're able to reproduce, can you re-run `git status` with tracing enabled and provide your output?

    GIT_TRACE=1 GIT_TRACE_SETUP=1 GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=1 git status

If you can provide reproduction instructions that start with `git init`, that would also help. It may take some time for you, but it'll take less time than folks on this list taking shots in the dark :-)
