if i do the same to a file (same repo):

touch test2
git add test2
git commit test2 -m "test2"

rm test
ln -s test2 test

git status

# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       deleted:    t2
#       typechange: test
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")


why is this different?
