It should and it does, unless you have untracked files in that directory that you haven't told git about. Then removing the directory along with these files will lose the files there, which is a wrong thing to do. A simple "rm -fr this/directory/is/no/longer/interesting/to/me" would be all that is needed. - 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
