Subject: Out-of-repository file remove error
Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2008 18:23:14 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080719082314.GA15419@mail.local.tull.net> (raw)
git rm seems to have a problem with removing a file from a repository
when the repository .git and working tree are not in the current
directory. It leaves an index.lock file.
Here's a script to show the bug:
mkdir Bugtest
cd Bugtest
git init
date > newfile
git add newfile
git commit -m 'Added' newfile
cd ..
git --git-dir=Bugtest/.git --work-tree=Bugtest rm newfile
ls -l Bugtest/.git/index.lock
Output:
Initialized empty Git repository in .../Bugtest/.git/
Created initial commit 43dec15: Added
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 newfile
rm 'newfile'
fatal: Unable to write new index file
-rw-r--r-- 1 nick nick 32 Jul 19 18:20 Bugtest/.git/index.lock
I tested on:
git version 1.5.6.2
git version 1.5.6.3.440.g9d8f
Nick.
