Actually, it's a user error. When you set --assume-unchanged, then you 
give a promise to git that you do not change the files, and git does not 
have to check itself whether there is a change.

But since you did not keep your promise, you get what you deserve. ;-)

So, to follow-up on your nearby post: --assume-unchanged is *not* a tool 
to avoid accidentally committing changes to files that are tracked.
