Cool, that fixes the "git add" issue I was seeing.  (So Acked-by:
Bruce Stephens <bruce.stephens@isode.com>, for what it's worth.)

I guess really the output of "git status" (or "git runstatus") is more
significant since that's what we'd normally be running (that's
presumably what "git gui" and similar tools run, though perhaps they
use "git ls-files"---probably the underlying code's the same, I
guess).

However, that doesn't mean the issue with git add shouldn't be
resolved.
