Oh yeah!  Good catch.

It looks like this git is interpreting the path spec not as an absolute
name, but as a prefix?

larsi@xo:~/src/emacs/trunk$ git status --porcelain --untracked-files --ignored 
-- src/gnutls
!! src/gnutls.o

Yup!

larsi@xo:~/src/emacs/trunk$ git status --porcelain --untracked-files --ignored 
-- src/g
!! src/gl-stamp
!! src/globals.h
!! src/globals.h.~1~
!! src/gnutls.o
!! src/gtkutil.o

Older versions of git doesn't interpret PATHSPEC this way, and I can't
see that the manual says anything about this, either...
