You should have got something like the following:

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#       new file:   bar
#
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#       modified:   bar
#

BTW. you have made initial commit, did you?
