ekidd speculated that since the file wasn't in the first version of
the repo, it was borking. He was right. Next he told me to try
git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm -f --cached db/data/
us_cities.data.insert.sql || true'
which worked. He also asked me to point this out on this list:
ekidd:semanticart: Commit 8c1ce0f46b85d40f215084eed7313896300082df
changed the behavior without updating the example in the man page. If
you're feeling inspired, you may want to post this to git@vger.
Thanks and apologies for any etiquette breaches, I don't know what I'm
doing :)
