It already says "../", which is correct: $ git init $ mkdir test && cd test $ touch file $ mkdir test2 && cd test2 $ git status ... # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # ../ There's no point in ever saying "./" _except_ in the case where the output would be totally blank, since there is no way to tell that it is an output line. Personally, I don't like either the "../" or the "./", but I actually think the relative paths are less readable than the full paths in general. -Peff - 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
