I asked for a series of operations *we* can perform to *reproduce* your error. If I do this here, it works (no error). The best way to give what I asked for is to start the series of operations with "git init" in an empty directory, but that's not the only way. What if you just "git commit -a" as step 3? What is "the file"? > is this something related to solaris or git crashing - the commit had > worked earlier ? Possibly. I can't look into it that much until I can reproduce it here. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
