I asked for a series of operations=20 *we* can perform to *reproduce* your error. If I do this here, it=20 works (no error). The best way to give what I asked for is to=20 start the series of operations with "git init" in an empty=20 directory, but that's not the only way. What if you just "git commit -a" as step 3? What is "the file"? > is this something related to solaris or git crashing - the commit=20 had > worked earlier ? Possibly. I can't look into it that much until I can reproduce it=20 here. =2D-=20 Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,=3D ,-_-. =3D.=20 bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-'=20 http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ =20 --nextPart2414696.AhqelC3jCY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkmHV1sACgkQdNbfk+86fC2EaACfV77K/e7VKm1G+m7ub2Rurb2V 8hUAn1/ofl1rZVu6S317Atr12Od7P+ez =Nxjm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2414696.AhqelC3jCY--
