I just fetched the sources without changing anything, but git diff
shows, that there are changes that are not yet updated (changed but not
updated: use git add to ...). Why is it like that?

I use msysgit on windows, maybe that is one reason?

What are the filenames? I've seen git on Windows get confused if a
repository has two files that are the same except for the case of some
of the letters (since both can't exist by default on NTFS).
