Subject: Removing a newly added file
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 16:59:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8aa486160703260759v438d445ev82161600d8e8bf02@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi *,

  when you try removing a newly added file it success and removes the
file from the working directory. So if you do:

$ echo "newly added file" > new
$ git add new
$ git rm new

the file "new" is lost, it is not in the index, neither in HEAD. At
this moment the only way to recover the file new is searching for
unreachable objects. (Am I missing something?)

  I think that the "git rm new" should remove "new" from the index or
should fail, maybe with:

$ git rm new
error: 'new' is not in HEAD (hint: try --cached)

  Santi
