git commit fails under some circumstances

[Laszlo Papp <djszapi@archlinux.us>]

Hi,

There are 2 bugs and 1 wish in this case:
1) It says "Changes to be committed:", but they are actually not
committed, there cannot even be committed since they were not added
"properly". This output is bogus
2) error: Error building trees
---
3) It would be nice to have one command (with no (git) alias for sure)
to see the difference like "git diff" but also the new files.

Best Regards,
Laszlo Papp
