Hi, I am a newbie using git and I am testing conversion of a personal project into git using fast-import. When fast-import completes all the files are in the repository but the working tree is empty and status reports all files are delete but uncommitted. I have to use reset --hard HEAD to unwind the pending removal of all of the files. Example below. Is this normal or have I missed something? Thanks in advance, Mike [mike@rockover tmp]$ mkdir test.git [mike@rockover tmp]$ cd test.git [mike@rockover test.git]$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test.git/.git/ [mike@rockover test.git]$ git fast-import << EOF > # Test git fast-import file > progress Commit 1/1 > commit refs/heads/master > mark :1 > committer Fred Bloggs <fred.bloggs@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1266610576 +0000 > data 16 > Initial checkin > > M 644 inline test > data 10 > Test file > EOF progress Commit 1/1 ...
