vi -O2 include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h 
include/uapi/linux/netfilter/xt_connmark.h

... opens the first file two times.

My MacOS workstation. Now as I discovered the problem I've created a r/w 
image with a c/s FS, but the need of that for a clean `git checkout .' 
is IMAO pretty silly.

Don't worry, I run Linux, but only on my servers.

Also this issue should also apply to M$ Windows workstations. By the way 
at work I actually use Git on Windows if needed and it also just works. 
However the software I work on doesn't have this issue.
