ls-files -t broken? Or do I just not understand it?

Hi,

ls-files -t seems to always show status H, even if the file was modified
or deleted, and thus gets shown by -m and -d respectively.

doener@atjola:git (master) $ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
doener@atjola:git (master) $ rm git.c
doener@atjola:git (master) $ echo 123 > Makefile
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git ls-files -m
Makefile
git.c
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git ls-files -d
git.c
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git ls-files -t Makefile git.c
H Makefile
H git.c
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git add -u Makefile git.c
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git ls-files -m
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git ls-files -d
doener@atjola:git (master) $ git ls-files -t Makefile git.c
H Makefile
doener@atjola:git (master) $ 


I would have expected the first "ls-files -t" to say:
C Makefile
K git.c

Is that a bug, or am I just misunderstanding what -t is supposed to do?
