Subject: Why git silently replaces untracked files?
Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 07:52:34 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1301064754576-6207950.post@n2.nabble.com> (raw)
Why git silently replaces untracked files?
# mkdir test.git
# mkdir 1
# mkdir 2
# echo 1 > 1/test
# echo 2 > 2/test
# cd test.git
# git init --bare
# cd ..
# git clone test.git
# cp -r test/.git 1
# cp -r test/.git 2
# cd 1
# git add test
# git commit -am 1
# git push origin master
# cd ../2
# git pull
# cat test
1
In my opinion it is wrong behavior.
I've just lost important file due to it.
Should not "git pull" fail here?
Anyhow it looks more correct then silent replacing.
Thanks,
Igor
