No, neither a virus scanner nor trackerd are running.

I use quilt to handle my local patches. One of the things that I have 
found confusing is that sometimes git complains about the files that 
have been restored, and sometimes not.

I replaced git on the machine in question with the latest git version 
(1.6.0.1.216.g1b23a) so the behavior will be the latest.

Thanks for the answers,
