Try "git update-index --refresh", more info in this recent thread "http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/188291" If this doesn't help: Human language is very ambiguous. What do you mean by "found a piece of code"? Somewhere outside the repository, in a branch inside the repository, in a subdirectory? What do you mean by "get create new local folders"? Do you mean a folder where you copied the repository or do you mean folders inside your repository where you created new files with your editor?
