Is this desired behaviour?

Testcase:

        #!/bin/sh
        # this script creates testGitAddPatch and will run the testcase there
         
        rm -fr testGitAddPatch
        mkdir testGitAddPatch
        cd testGitAddPatch
         
        git init
        echo test > test
        git add --patch test
        echo "running status, nothing has been added"
        git status
        git --version
 
My output
 
        marc@mail: /tmp/git ]$ sh test.sh
        Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git/testGitAddPatch/.git/
        No changes.
        running status, nothing has been added
        # On branch master
        #
        # Initial commit
        #
        # Untracked files:
        #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        #
        #       test
        nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to
        track)
        git version 1.6.0.2.GIT
