If it is the latter, then the above description is useless for anybody to start formulating any theory on what goes wrong. Sorry. You being on OS X, I would guess that you may have a pathname in the project that HFS+ does not like. On HFS+, when a program creates a file with "open(filename, O_CREAT)", reading the directory the created path is in with readdir() does not return the string given when it was created but something else for certain pathnames; you may be seeing that git is confused by that behaviour. But that is just a wild guess. -- 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
