But what we have right now is really weird: # setup repo with one empty dir: $ rm -fr test $ git init test Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/ $ cd test $ mkdir foo $ git add . fatal: pathspec '.' did not match any files => The one we're discussing. $ git add foo => No error when an empty directory other than . is given. $ cd foo $ git add . => No error either for "git add ." when not at the root of the repo. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
