Subject: Cygwin error?
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:57:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811191857.30793.nadim@khemir.net> (raw)

Hi, Given:

$ git pull
remote: Counting objects: 46, done.
...
Updating b80286d..a543dae
error: Untracked working tree file 'xxx.txt' would be overwritten by merge.


This is due to a rename of xxx.txt to Xxx.txt. I  understand that this is due 
to files being just case preserving on Cycwin/Win32.

The only I found was to remove the xxx.txt localy and do a pull. The 
interresting thing is that Xxx.txt is no present in my file system. I can 
check it out from HEAD though.

What did I missunderstood and do wrong?

Cheers, Nadim.
