Hello!
I've the problem that some files (a directory with 3 files) is simply 'away':
- We added it once
- In current tree it's away
- pasky aided me in irc to find the commit where it is gone with git bisect
--> very nice tool
- the commit, after which the directory was gone did NOT modify this directory
- though the directory is gone
What should I do know to find out what's the reason git 'forgot' that directory?
Nico
P.S.: I cannot put the .git directory online, it's a closed source project
      for a special customer with customer data in it.
