Hi all, I've got an assertion error when `git add .` git: pathspec.c:317: prefix_pathspec: Assertion `item->nowildcard_len <= item->len && item->prefix <= item->len' failed. Aborted (core dumped) I think the repo doesn't have anything interesting. No submodules or subrepos. It's like: repo/ .gitignore .git/ scripts/ .gitignore foo.py bar.json something/ someanother/ other/ (gitignored) scripts.git/ (original .git for scripts/) foo.txt With modified: ../something/a.txt modified: ../someanother/b.txt ... Working directory is repo/scripts. I think the bug is related to this post: [assert failed in submodule edge case](https://marc.info/?l=git&m=142894416621088&w=2).
