Title Body

I am seeing a behaviour in Git which seems very mysterious to me. I keep a clone of the Linux repository from Github to play with Git locally. To be clear, I don't do much in this repository : I fetch changes, update master , checkout a specific version, and sometimes I try out a Git GUI to see what the visualization looks like on a big project. TLDR version: I never did any changes to the files in it . Strange behaviour Earlier today, I checked-out master and pulled changes from Github. Everything seemed to go fine. But I suspect it actually didn't. This is what git status looks like now. axel@macbook ~/Depots/linux $ git status # On branch master # Changes not staged for commit: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: include/linux/netfilter/xt_connmark.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter/xt_dscp.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter/xt_mark.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter/xt_rateest.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter/xt_tcpmss.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ecn.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ttl.h # modified: include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6t_hl.h # modified: net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ecn.c # modified: net/netfilter/xt_dscp.c # modified: net/netfilter/xt_hl.c # modified: net/netfilter/xt_rateest.c # modified: net/netfilter/xt_tcpmss.c # # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # samples/hidraw/ no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") Where do these changes come from, I wonder. Now comes the worst part. Let us see what happens if I try to get rid of those files and check them out again. <co
