The only way I found to expand > "$Id$" consistently was "rm test.perl; git checkout test.perl", or "rm > test.perl; git reset --hard HEAD". I think that "git checkout -f test.perl" should work, forcing git to replace existing file. As to clone problem: it might be chicken and egg problem, with `ident` filter needing .gitattribites in working directory during checkout phase (currently there is no way to use gitattributes from a tree in repository), and checkout writing this file. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- 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
