Hi everybody, today I ran into a git issue on Windows 7/64. My directory structure looks like this, and I wondered why the content of a dir wouldn't get added. C:\Users\chris\git\GoogleTestExtension -- .git -- ConsoleApplication1 (new) ----- gtest-1.7.0 dir (does not get added) ----- stuff that has been successfully added -- more stuff that's already under git control So here's about what I did: - Looked at it with Git Gui, noticed that gtest-1.7.0 is a submodule - Deleted gtest-1.7.0/.git - performed git add --all . within the gtest-1.7.0 dir => crash, output below - installed git 2.5.0 - uninstalled git 1.9.1 - deleted lock file - performed git add --all . within the gtest-1.7.0 dir => crash, output below I could provide the according dir for reproducing the issue (I will now zip it for reference) - if anybody is interested, drop me an email. All the best Christian Output with git 1.9.1: C:\Users\chris\git\GoogleTestExtension\ConsoleApplication1\gtest-1.7.0>git add --all .
