Hi,

I have a Rails project that I'm managing with git and I have a strange problem with one of the plugin directories. Every time I do `git add .` it tries to delete itself... Any idea what might be happening?

andrew$ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)

andrew$ git add .

andrew$ git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: vendor/plugins/restful_authentication # deleted: vendor/plugins/restful_authentication/CHANGELOG # deleted: vendor/plugins/restful_authentication/README.textile # deleted: vendor/plugins/restful_authentication/Rakefile # deleted: vendor/plugins/restful_authentication/TODO # ... # ... # ... #
