Hi,
I have the following problems with a local repository:
* git commit fileA tries to delete fileX (fileX still exists).
* git restore --staged fileX doesn't work, the file remains staged.
* A commit from a few days back deleted 2 random files that I haven't
touched or staged in months and pulled in staged changes I didn't ask
for.
git version: 2.24.0 and 2.24.1 (OS: FreeBSD 12)
How can this happen? The repository has a local remote (on the same
filesystem) that is pushed to only. I tarred the project and copied it
to a Mac with git 2.23.0 and the problem persists.
For example (I've only changed the filenames):
% git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
modified: fileA
modified: fileB
modified: fileC
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
...
% git commit fileA
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
#
# On branch master
# Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
#
# Changes to be committed:
# deleted: fileX
# modified: fileA
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
% git stash
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: 488e7081 ...
% git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: fileX
Untracked files:
% git restore --staged fileX
% git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
(use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: fileX
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
Thanks,
Mikael
