"A" is initially tracked and the user modifies it. Moving HEAD away how? "git checkout" would refuse to check out a branch that has different contents at "A", or is missing "A". So how can "now HEAD does not see 'A' as tracked any more" happen? -- 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
