No problem!

Applies and fixes my problem (master, and the fix in next works too). Thank you! However, in my process of testing I noticed something else, not really a bug but an inconsistency in how things are reported to the user:

$ git --version git version 1.5.5.1.501.gefb4 $ git status # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # modified: bar/bar # modified: foo # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") $ git add -u -n add 'bar/bar' add 'foo' $ git add -n foo bar/bar bar/bar foo

I would have expected the output to be the same in this case.

PS Sorry for the duplicate Junio, I hit the wrong reply button, and lost the whole reply-list.
