I think the guidance the users need is the one j6t has given already in the upthread: "If you are promising Git you are not going to touch a path, do not touch it. Bad things may happen." There is no need to say "if you touched this way or that way, then you might get lucky." because the "lucky" part is not designed. As we find more codepaths that can rely on the promise by the user, we may decide to take advantage of that promise even further and the "lucky/unlucky" equation _will_ change when that happens. -- 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
