I asked for a series of operations \n*we* can perform to *reproduce* your error. If I do this here, it \nworks (no error). The best way to give what I asked for is to \nstart the series of operations with \"git init\" in an empty \ndirectory, but that's not the only way.\n\nWhat if you just \"git commit -a\" as step 3?\nWhat is \"the file\"?\n\n> is this something related to solaris or git crashing - the commit \nhad\n> worked earlier ?\n\nPossibly. I can't look into it that much until I can reproduce it \nhere.\n-- \nBoyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. \nbss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\\_))\nICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' \nhttp://iguanasuicide.net/ \\_/ \n"}]}
