Status is always returning linux unchanged linux sym links as unstaged modified files

[billmag]

When I run status().isClean() on my repository, it always returns false because I have a symlink in it.

billmag:~/code/github/android-sdk$ git status
On branch feature/release-script
nothing to commit, working directory clean'

The value of Grgit.open('.').status() is:

org.ajoberstar.grgit.Status(staged:org.ajoberstar.grgit.Status$Changes(added:[], modified:[], removed:[]), unstaged:org.ajoberstar.grgit.Status$Changes(added:[], modified:[android-sdk-base/src], removed:[]))

It is a symlink, to elsewhere in the repository, but it's certainly unchanged and I can confirm it works in a fresh checkout:

billmag:~/code/github/android-sdk$ ls -la android-sdk-base/src
lrwxr-xr-x  1 billmag  staff  28 May 19 19:32 android-sdk-base/src -> android-sdk-base-private/src

Unfortunately, JGit (which underlies all of Grgit's functionality) does not support symlinks right now. See this JGit issue.

Let me know if you don't that's the problem you're having.

JGit issue [354367|https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=354367] has now been fixed.

I am still exeriencing this issue using 'org.ajoberstar:grgit:1.3.0'. My repository has a few symlinks in it and grgit.status() treats them as unstaged changes:

org.ajoberstar.grgit.Status(staged:org.ajoberstar.grgit.Status$Changes(added:[], modified:[], removed:[]), unstaged:org.ajoberstar.grgit.Status$Changes(added:[], modified:[platform/messaging-service/index.md, platform/insurance-card-scanning/ocr/lib/libocr.so, build.gradle, platform/configuration-service/index.md, platform/core/index.md], removed:[]))

From the command line, git status returns:

# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#   modified:   build.gradle
#
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Can you post your buildscript block?

[Lasagna220]

buildscript {
  dependencies {
    classpath 'org.ajoberstar:grgit:1.3.0'
  }
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
}

Could your issue be related to #69? I'll be upgrading the JGit dependency with 1.4.0 (but you could try it yourself in the meantime).
