Well, outside git, if you do $ mkdir -p foo/bar $ echo hello > foo/bar/world $ rm -f foo/bar/world You didn't ask foo/bar to stay either, and still, it's quite natural to have it stay in your filesystem. So, the same way you'd have ran "rm -r foo", it seems reasonable to me to ask for "git-rm -r foo" if the user wants to get rid of foo/ itself. -- Matthieu - 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
