From: Junio C Hamano Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2006 09:11:54 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-add: remove conflicting entry when adding. Message-ID: <7v3b7e7up1.fsf_-_@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> In-Reply-To: <7vk60r7139.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a file A/B in it in the index, 'git add' did not succeed because it forgot to pass the allow-replace flag to add_cache_entry(). It might be safer to leave this as an error and require the user to explicitly remove the existing A first before adding A/B since it is an unusual case, but doing that automatically is much easier to use.
