Hi there,
when cooking up a "warning example" for git replace (don't draw
premature conclusions when there are replaced objects) I came across the
following problem: git status seems to compare the work dir with the
tree of HEAD, not the replacing tree. Even deleting the index does not help.
[ The example also shows that we need a way to specify
--no-replace-objects for gitk. Would easier if gitk really where git
something. ]
