I'm quite new to Git (using it since a few weeks only) and really like
this tool. This is a great improvement over Svn that I was using until
now. (Still using it for the company master repository though.)
I have the following problem:
I want to stash new files. I tried the combination "git add" / "git
stash" but it does not work. Did I do something wrong, is it a special
case, or some kind of bug?
Does anybody have a clue?
Here are the details:
$ git add -N XXX/src/jrxml/*.xls
$ git stash save --keep-index "Improving performance of views"
XXX/src/jrxml/SubCellMatrixCompared-EXPLAIN-new.xls: not added yet
XXX/src/jrxml/SubCellMatrixCompared-EXPLAIN-old.xls: not added yet
fatal: git-write-tree: error building trees
Cannot save the current index state
$ git status
# On branch MS9
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: XXX/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component
# new file: XXX/src/jrxml/SubCellMatrixCompared-EXPLAIN-new.xls
# new file: XXX/src/jrxml/SubCellMatrixCompared-EXPLAIN-old.xls
#
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
#
# modified: XXX/src/jrxml/SubCellMatrixCompared-EXPLAIN-new.xls
# modified: XXX/src/jrxml/SubCellMatrixCompared-EXPLAIN-old.xls
#
$ git version
git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0
Specificities:
* I have a file in the index that I do not want to stash
* The two new files are binary files
* I'm running this on windows (msysgit)
Please tell me, should you need any extra information.
