I just discovered a major problem for Mac OS and Windows people: In contrib/mw-to-git/ there is a file called "git". And there is a directory called "Git". This does not work very well on case insensitive file systems. When the file "git" is created, we can not create a directory called "Git", as "Git" is mapped to "git". And vice versa. Can we try to rename one of them ? The other interesting thing is that git 1.8.3 didn't like the situation: After checking out the pu branch, git status says: deleted: contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm So I could not change to another branch/commit... git stash didn't resolve the situation either. The following saved my repo: git mv contrib/mw-to-git/git contrib/mw-to-git/git.exe git checkout contrib/mw-to-git/Git/Mediawiki.pm git checkout -b xxx_git_Git_conflict git commit -a -m xxx_git_Git_conflict /Torsten -- 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
