I would be grateful for any thoughts about the follow problem. Git status reports untracked files: $ git status # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # resource.enlighten/map/enlighten_test/.enlighten/__build_object__/geometry/land_9/processed/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) But we have files at this directory at index: $ git ls-tree -r HEAD |grep land_9/processed/root.pim 100644 blob 9eeca5c75dc2c945600b6e0d253a8cb8191b7e80 resource.enlighten/map/enlighten_test/.enlighten/__build_object__/geometry/land_9/processed/root.pim I have checked this error appear after the first commit, that added this file. I have tried: 1. Clone repo. 2. Clean/Checkout file (as described at this [1] article) - after checkout status is untracked. 3. Copy full directory resource.enlighten/ to another repo and add commit - no errors. 4. Run git fsck - no errors. Git version 1.8.1.2. for Windows Git config: [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = false bare = false logallrefupdates = true symlinks = false ignorecase = true hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly compression = 1 Thank you in advance.
