Hi,

I'm using version 1.5.0.5

I do: git pull --no-commit origin

Receive messages ending in:

        ...
       Updating 6a29cdd..b7ba33d
       Fast forward
       interface/testfile |    1 +
       1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
       create mode 100644 interface/testfile

My working directory is correctly updated. I assume that I can make further mods and then commit.

However when I do: git commit -a

I'm told: nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Am I misunderstanding something?

Cheers, Geoff Russell
