It's the same before and during the rebase: $ git diff-files :160000 160000 c840225a7cf6bb2ec64da9d35d2c29210bc5e5e8 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M sub > > This does *not* refresh the index, but maybe that is what is going wrong; > you could call `git update-index --refresh` before the rebase and see > whether that works around the issue?
