Description Susan McCourt

With the latest from master, I try to open git-status.html and get:

TypeError: eclipse.globalCommandUtils is undefined

This next part may be a red herring or random coincidence.
- I've had the same git command line open for a long time, working happily.
- I had a small change to stage/commit
- decided to try git-status.html and got above error
- went back to "git gui" to stage/commit
- pushed to server on git command line
- Mark couldn't see my change.  local gitk showed my change, master gitk did not.  git status showed "nothing to commit".  git push showed "already up to date".  
- Logged out of git command line and back in
- git push
- this time it went

Could this possibly be related to the git status error...ie, is there any git env changes made by that page or was this just a coincidence?

Definitely something going on.
Just restarted Orion server and tried git-status again.  Still got errors.

Then I went to stash a change from my console to test something.
git stash reported "no changes to stash"
logged out of git bash, logged back in.
stash was successful.

So in my mind the important question is 
- does git-status.html change one's command line git env?
- if so, does it change it because of error on page or does it always change it?

This report is old now and I'n not seeing this.
