Hi, When doing something like: mkdir testdir && cd testdir && touch foo && git init && git add . && git commit -m 'Initial commit.' && rm foo && mkdir foo && git commit -a -m 'Test.' I get: Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ Created initial commit 3f945ca: Initial commit. 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 foo fatal: unable to index file foo I think it's quite bad that it doesn't work. It seems it also doesn't work when adding "touch foo/bar" before "git commit -a -m 'Test.'". I used: $ git --version git version 1.5.5.rc2 It worked with 1.5.3 and I bisected it to the git commit port to C: commit f5bbc3225c4b073a7ff3218164a0c820299bc9c6 Author: Kristian H<C3><B8>gsberg <krh@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Nov 8 11:59:00 2007 -0500 Port git commit to C. This makes git commit a builtin and moves git-commit.sh to contrib/examples. This also removes the git-runstatus helper, which was mostly just a git-status.sh implementation detail.
