In my case (I'm not the OP) the repository was created on a linux machine with 1.7.10.1. On the windows machine I've tried to clone it with cygwin git 1.7.4 and mysgit 1.8.4. Both show the same file as being modified, and diffing it shows significant differs.
Oh. I think I know what's happening. The repo has two files, one named debugger.mm, the other Debugger.mm. It is the Debugger.mm file that it thinks is modified and the diff is comparing it to debugger.mm. Is Windows not case sensitive? I think not.
