That isn't right, though I can't reproduce what you describe from your report. Try this script out: --- >8 --- #!/bin/sh rm -fr repo git init repo cd repo mkdir -p dir touch dir/c touch a touch b git add a b dir/c git commit -m "a" date >>b date >>dir/c ( cd dir git commit . -m "dir" ) --- 8< --- `repo` ends up wtih the contents of dir/c committed, but b is still modified (and its latest changes not part of the most recent commit). Can you share a reproduction script? Thanks, Taylor
