Yeah, I would agree. I do not think this is a new breakage. It behaves the same way all the way back to v1.7.0 (the first commit with t7011). Trying to go back further (by snapshotting the state of the trash directory and just running the reset on it) doesn't work, as older versions do not understand the skip-worktree bit. I'm not sure yet if it's just a problem with skip-worktree entries, or if you can trigger the problem another way, though. -Peff -- 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
