On the otherwise-idle flubber:

    $ git clone git://sources.redhat.com/git/glibc.git

    $ git status
    # On branch master
    # Changed but not updated:
    #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
    #

    #       modified:   localedata/charmaps/IBM862

    no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
    $ ls -l iconvdata/ibm1122.c localedata/charmaps/IBM862

    -rw-r--r-- 1 tschwinge tschwinge 0 2008-12-15 15:49 localedata/charmaps/IBM862

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)

Still seen on 2010-03-16.
