The output below should help explain this bug better than words can. This is with version 1.5.4.rc0. Note that all files were added with git add before the below output begins. dmcgee@dublin ~/projects/abs $ git status # On branch master # # Initial commit # # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: abs # new file: etc/abs/abs.conf # new file: etc/abs/supfile.community # new file: etc/abs/supfile.core # new file: etc/abs/supfile.extra # new file: etc/abs/supfile.testing # new file: etc/abs/supfile.unstable # dmcgee@dublin ~/projects/abs $ git commit -s Created initial commit 5f5f8d3: Initial creation of abs git repository 1 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100755 abs create mode 040000 etc I assume that all files should be listed by git commit, but they are not. I'm willing to look into fixing this if someone could point me in the right direction. -Dan - 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
