Attached is tar.gz of working directory (.) - so unpack in a new directory.
git show HEAD@{"N seconds ago"}:data/node/.gitignore
works fine for values of N back to creationof file
But:
git show HEAD@{"N seconds ago"}:data/node/node.newds1
doesn't work for any values of N.
During my attempts to create this example, I managed created a
directory which where
the show command failed for both files, but when I changed the commit
message, the
show worked for .gitignore but not the node file. Hence my suspicion
of that the slashes
in the path are being interpreted as requesting a commit message match ...?
I hope you can track it down, I will install the latest version of git
later on today to
confirm the behaviour is still happening.
