title: Git shows files changed, but EGit does not
body: <p>Git noob here. Having a hard time figuring out why git shows some files changed, while Eclipse EGit does not.</p>
  
  <p>When I use EGit within Eclipse and view a project, it shows no files changed. There is no little caret next to each file. When I use Git for Windows, or go to the command line and type "git status", it shows that all the files have been modified. When I type "git diff" it shows two different versions of a file, first red, then green, and there appears to be some whitespace differences, but I can't be sure, and I can't figure out how the whitespace changed in every file in the project. (Something here doesn't add up.) "git diff -w" returns nothing. "git config --global apply.whitespace nowarn" does nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I might be having a basic conceptual problem with git.</p>
  
  <p>In any case, why do EGit and the git command line show different results?</p>
