Shouldn't --others > use $GIT_DIR, instead of ".", or am I missing something here? git-ls-files --others lists untracked files in the current directory by comparing it to the index stored in $GIT_DIR/index and listing files present in the current directory but not in the index. GIT_DIR is a path to the Git repository the commands should work with, but if they work on working tree, they look at the current directory for it. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ The meaning of Stonehenge in Traflamadorian, when viewed from above, is: "Replacement part being rushed with all possible speed." -- Kurt Vonnegut, Sirens from Titan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
