"git add" doesn't do that (perhaps it should?), so you need to use checkout. And checkout doesn't touch file if it is identical, so you need to remove it first; nevertheless you don't need to use commit in betwen, as "git checkout bar" would checkout file out of index (you added contents of file to index with "git add bar"). -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- 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
