That is normal.
The file system reports the last time the file changed, which is probably the
moment you aborted the changes.

Your patch for tab-conversion consistently shows the old versions removed,
but no new versions put in their place --- it's not just the side-by-side view.
I have no guesses about what might have gone wrong.

If you are curious, maybe wade in to the command line just a bit and try
`git status` just after re-committing your tab-expand changes (which might
tell you the new versions are modified but not added or something; I don't know)

-----------------------

Thanks for that. I went back and redid my edits (see other email I just sent 
out).

I don't know what happened, but it's good to get some sanity check.

I did a git status before committing and it showed all the .py files that were 
modified and after the commit they were gone. As opposed to git status showing 
files that need to be 'added' (a la binary files).

Oh well, I seemed to have sorted this out.
