I try EGit revert for several days, It's very confuse that when I revert the file following the user guide, and I still got the file dirty symbol in the related file.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Reverting_Changes

I choose 'Replace with' -> 'File in Git Index', it works, the content has been revert, but the symbol stays the same, sometimes, the symbol will disappear after a while, but sometimes, it didn't disappear.

I'm using eclipse on windows, I'm not sure it's about the '\r\n' character. But I use 'Compare with ' -> 'File in Git Index', two files look the same.

Hope someone can tell me why, I think it can be a bug? Thank you in advance.
