Subject: Git commit won't add an untracked file given on the command line
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:12:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081118211237.234d8035@crow> (raw)


Hi,

When I try: 

git commit -m "New file." .gitignore

Where .gitignore is not yet tracked, I get: 

error: pathspec '.gitignore' did not match any file(s) known to git.

Is that result by design, sloth or bug (or me being stupid)?

Thanks,

Mark
