How can I discard modified files?

Question

This is a Linux 2.6 kernel repository. I git clone it to my local host.

After that. I didn\'t make any change. But when I \"git status\". I found 13 modified files.

this problem was caused, for me, by a non-case-sensitive filesystem (e.g. on Mac OS). You can either create a case-sensitive disk image and mount it and do your git work on there, or use a different OS to do your development.
