This is with debian packaged 1.5.4.4. When invoked from a subdirectory, git clean removes more than it should. According to the documentation, it should not remove directories unless "-d" is given. However: pep ~/src/test 0$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ pep ~/src/test|master 0$ mkdir dir pep ~/src/test|master 0$ mkdir dir/subdir pep ~/src/test|master 0$ git clean -f Not removing dir/ pep ~/src/test|master 0$ cd dir pep ~/src/test/dir|master 0$ git clean -f Removing subdir/ pep ~/src/test/dir|master 0$ ls subdir ls: cannot access subdir: No such file or directory Luckily I just lost some compilation results in this case, but this is unexpected and dangerous behaviour. (Additionally, I find the "-f" slightly annoying but that's not an issue here.) -j -- 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
