Strange untracked file behaviour

Hi,

Here is a copy of the udev repo I cloned some time ago:

http://frugalware.org/~vmiklos/files/udev.tar.bz2

I did not modify it, so I thought a simple 'git pull' can update it.

$ git pull Updating 661a0be..b6626d0 error: Untracked working tree file 'test/sys/class/misc/rtc/dev' would be removed by merge.

Ok, let's clean the untracked files:

$ git clean -x -d -f

But it does not remove any file.

$ git ls-files|grep test/sys/class/misc/rtc/dev test/sys/class/misc/rtc/dev

So it seems git-clean is right.

$ git pull -s resolve Updating 661a0be..b6626d0 error: Untracked working tree file 'test/sys/class/misc/rtc/dev' would be removed by merge.

So it does not seem to be merge-recursive-related.

Does somebody have an idea what's going on? :)

$ git version git version 1.6.1.rc1.35.gae26e.dirty

('dirty' is due to non-code changes in my working directory.)

Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks.
