git commit does not show all added files in subdirectories

The output below should help explain this bug better than words can.
This is with version 1.5.4.rc0.

Note that all files were added with git add before the below output begins.

dmcgee@dublin ~/projects/abs
$ git status
# On branch master

# Initial commit

# Changes to be committed:

#	new file: abs
#	new file: etc/abs/abs.conf

$ git commit -s
Created initial commit 5f5f8d3: Initial creation of abs git repository
 1 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100755 abs
 create mode 040000 etc

I assume that all files should be listed by git commit, but they are
not. I'm willing to look into fixing this if someone could point me in
the right direction.
