Hi,

I add 2 files that I want ignore on commits
git update-index --assume-unchanged configurations/local.defs
git update-index --assume-unchanged processor/default.defs

git diff -a
is clean
git diff .
is clean
git commit -a

nothing added to commit

but

git commit .
# Changes to be committed:
#       modified:   configurations/local.defs
#       modified:   processor/default.defs

this is a bug .

Actually, it's a user error. When you set --assume-unchanged, then you give a promise to git that you do not change the files, and git does not have to check itself whether there is a change.

But since you did not keep your promise, you get what you deserve. ;-)

So, to follow-up on your nearby post: --assume-unchanged is *not* a tool to avoid accidentally committing changes to files that are tracked.
