+On the otherwise-idle flubber:

+    # On branch master
+    # Changed but not updated:
+    #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+    #
+    #       modified:   iconvdata/ibm1122.c

+So these files are indeed of zero-length in the checked-out tree.  Is this
+git's fault or something else's?
+
+Fixing this situation is easy enough:
+
+    $ git checkout -- iconvdata/ibm1122.c localedata/charmaps/IBM862
+    $ git status
+    # On branch master
+    nothing to commit (working directory clean)
