Dear Chris
Thanks a lot for your fast and relevant reply! This was indeed the case,
i.e. non-tracek files in the folder, whiohc hindered to move it
properly! I had not understood it from the error message, but then I
removed those and it worked!
Thanks!!

Dear list
I am very sorry to bother you with such a simple question, but I searched
for a while on the net and did not come up with any satisfying answer :-(
I just want to move a bunch of files (from /R to /pkg/R ), but get the
error:
$ git mv R/*.R pkg/R/
fatal: not under version control, source=R/nll_MSAR3.R,
destination=pkg/R/nll_MSAR3.R
This is the kind of error you get from asking git to move a file it
isn't tracking.
Have you got generated files in the same location as your repository?
I get the same kind of thing if I ask git to move generated files
git mv foo/*.pyc bar/
fatal: not under version control, source=foo/ast.pyc, destination=bar/ast.pyc
To get around this you could change your wildcard to only include
files you are tracking or specify them individually. Alternatively you
could just use 'mv R/*.R pkg/R/' then 'git rm' the old files and 'git
add' the new files you want to track, git should detect the renames
after the 'git rm' and 'git add'. As a final alternative you could
also 'git clean -d' to remove the untracked files but be careful with
that as you may not have added some files you are meaning to track.
What do I do wrong? Would you kindly indicate me what I should do?
Thanks a lot and sorry again!
Matthieu
