My apologies for bugging the list! No problem. I actually think it would be interesting if Git could somehow detect and warn about this situation. But the obvious way to do that would be to re-run the clean filter directly after checkout. And doing that all the time is expensive. Perhaps some kind of "lint" program would be interesting to warn of possible misconfigurations. Of course people would have to run it for it to be useful. :) -Peff
