Build Identifier: 20110615-0604

Hi,
I happen to have a broken link in my branch. The broken link points to a file that is in the same directory as the link. The branch is clean according to "git status" command. 

The Git Staging view displays this link as an "Unstaged Change".

The link points to a  git status on command line seems to ignore the fact that the link is broken (

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create broken link, e.g. ln -s test.1 test.2 (you have a link test.2 now).
2. Commit this to your repository.
3. Open "Git Staging" view.
