problems of git-status

[Liu Yubao <yubao.liu@gmail.com>]

Hi,
   I find "git status" and "git status ." have different output and the latter
will go wrong in the case below:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
#!/bin/sh
rm -rf tt; mkdir tt; cd tt

git init
mkdir AA
echo hello>a
git add .
echo world>a

echo "different output..."
echo "--------------------git status-------------"
git status
echo "--------------------git status . ----------"
git status .

git add a
git commit -m "test"
echo hello world>a
git add a
sleep 4
echo world hello>a
echo "--------------------git status-------------"
git status
echo "--------------------git status . ----------"
git status .

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I use git version 1.5.1.rc2.15.g465b3, "git repo-config -l" shows:
	core.filemode=false
	core.logallrefupdates=true
	core.compression=9
	diff.color=auto
	pack.window=64
	merge.summary=true
	core.repositoryformatversion=0
	core.filemode=false
	core.bare=false


Here is the output of that script:
