Re: Deleted folder keeps showing up?

Hi Michael,

thank you for your answer.

Strangely, I can't reproduce the error  today.
As I did quite a lot branching and merging yesterday (learning git),
I can't remember the steps that led to the error.

And it doesn't have to be an error though -
perhaps it was just my clouded perception due to the lots of branches.

But I will keep an eye on this and see if it happens again.

Sorry for bothering,

- benjamin

I made a branch and deleted a folder there with git rm -rf foldername. So now i have to branches, A with the folder and B without the folder.

I'm on B, the folder is not there.
Then I check out A, the folder shows up like it should.
When I check out B again, the folder is still there.

A git rm -rf folder gives me:

	fatal: pathspec 'folder/' did not match any files

, so git is not tracking the folder.

I can rm -rf the filder without git and start the whole game from the
beginning,
but there has to be a better way?

Strange enough this happens just to two folders I removed,
with others there is no problem.

What does "git status" say when you've checked out B? Could some
contents of folder/ possibly be being ignored (.git/info/excludes etc.)?
