Hi,

I have a strange issue (git v 1.7.3.2). I'm cloning the repository, navigating to the folder containing some scripts and performing git hash-object <one_of_my_scripts>

Then I'm trying to run:

git log --raw --no-abbrev | grep <resulting SHA1 from previous command>

And i don't see anything.

How is that possible, considering no local changes to the file has been done, working directory clean?? How could the file get into this state?

Thanks, Eugene
