In t7501-commit.sh, "partial commit that involves removal (1)" test, it _sometimes_ fails. test_expect_success 'partial commit that involves removal (1)' ' git rm --cached file && mv file elif && git add elif && git diff-index --name-status HEAD >changes && git commit -m "Partial: add elif" elif && git diff-tree --name-status HEAD^ HEAD >current && echo "A elif" >expected && diff expected current ' It removes "file" from the index, adds "elif" to the index, and tries to commit _only_ the addition of "elif" without recording the removal of "file" (I added "diff-index" above to see where it fails, its presense or absense does not change the bug, and it shows that both addition of elif and removal of file are in the index). When the test fails, the resulting commit however does not record the addition of elif. The commit records the same tree as its parent instead. The index that is left has "elif" but not "file" (iow, it records the expected state after such a partial commit). - 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
