[syslinux] gen-id.sh and git

[Sebastian Herbszt]

Hello,

i just tried syslinux-3.71-pre5-3-g852d962 and got a question about gen-id.sh:

$ cd git/syslinux/
git/syslinux$ git pull
Already up-to-date.

git/syslinux$ cd core
git/syslinux/core$ ../gen-id.sh
g-852d962e

$ cp -a git/syslinux syslinux-3.71-pre5-3-g852d962

$ cd syslinux-3.71-pre5-3-g852d962/core
syslinux-3.71-pre5-3-g852d962/core$ ../gen-id.sh
g*852d962e

* means modified, is this correct?

syslinux-3.71-pre5-3-g852d962/core$ git diff
syslinux-3.71-pre5-3-g852d962/core$ ../gen-id.sh
g-852d962e

no longer marked as modified?

There is a difference in the output of "git diff-index --name-only HEAD"
before and after the "git diff" command. Can someone please explain me
what i am doing wrong here? I am using git version 1.5.5.4.

Thanks,
Sebastian
