You should have got something like the following:

# On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: bar # # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # modified: bar #

BTW. you have made initial commit, did you?
