From: mat Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 20:48:04 GMT Subject: Newbie question: how to move bunch of files Message-ID: <4CD86204.1000805@gmail.com> Dear list I am very sorry to bother you with such a simple question, but I searched for a while on the net and did not come up with any satisfying answer :-( I just want to move a bunch of files (from /R to /pkg/R ), but get the error: $ git mv R/*.R pkg/R/ fatal: not under version control, source=R/nll_MSAR3.R, destination=pkg/R/nll_MSAR3.R What do I do wrong? Would you kindly indicate me what I should do? Thanks a lot and sorry again! Matthieu PS: I am using git 1.7.0.4 on Ubuntu 10.4
