title: Files showing as modified directly after a Git clone
body: <p>I'm having an issue with a repository at the moment, and though my Git-fu is usually good, I can't seem to solve this issue.</p>
  
  <p>When I clone this repository, then <code>cd</code> into the repository, <code>git status</code> shows several files as changed. Note: I haven't opened the repository in any editor or anything.</p>
  
  <p>I tried following this guide: <a href="http://help.github.com/dealing-with-lineendings/" rel="noreferrer">http://help.github.com/dealing-with-lineendings/</a>, but this didn't help at all with my issue.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried <code>git checkout -- .</code> many times, but it seems not to do anything.</p>
  
  <p>I'm on a Mac, and there are no submodules in the repository itself.</p>
  
  <p>The filesystem is "Journaled HFS+" filesystem on the Mac and is not case-sensitive. The files are one-line and about 79&nbsp;KB each (yes, you heard right), so looking at <code>git diff</code> isn't particularly helpful. I have heard about doing <code>git config --global core.trustctime false</code> which might help, which I will try when I get back to the computer with the repository on it.</p>
  
  <p>I changed details of filesystem with facts! And I tried the <code>git config --global core.trustctime false</code> trick which didn't work very well.</p>
