Hi, I can reliably trigger a failed assertion in Git 2.4.3 by performing the following steps: mkdir a; cd a git init touch a.txt git add a.txt git commit -m 'a' cd .. mkdir b; cd b git init git submodule add ../a cd a rm -fr .git git add . This results in: git: pathspec.c:317: prefix_pathspec: Assertion `item->nowildcard_len <= item->len && item->prefix <= item->len' failed. -- 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
