Hi Boaz,
I still could not add the file. This time it said symbolic link error.

gitrepo$ ll -A total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 bill bill 4 2009-01-22 17:54 etc -> /etc drwxr-xr-x 7 bill bill 4096 2009-01-22 18:23 .git gitrepo$ pwd /home/bill/gitrepo gitrepo$ git add etc/fstab fatal: 'etc/fstab' is beyond a symbolic link
