I've been writing an importer from an older SCM into git. I'm getting the following behavior with using git-fast-import: The file I'm importing has something along the lines of: commit refs/heads/foo <various metadata> M 100644 :mark path/to/some/file Then, later on, there's another commit: commit refs/heads/foo <various metadata> R path/to/some/file new/path/to/some/file As far as I've been able to see, the :from tag points to the correct commit (which is also in the correct branch). There are no instances of 'reset <branch>' being called anywhere. The file isn't deleted anywhere. But when I run fast-import, I receive an error to the extent of: fatal: Path path/to/some/file not in branch So to me, it looks like the file that I'm renaming should exist in the branch - it's not being renamed anywhere, not being deleted, and the branch isn't reset. Yet fast-import doesn't seem to think the file exists. I'm using git 1.6.3.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
