Actually, this is not what I reported. This explains why I couldn't quite understand the direction this thread took. Look again: $ cat ~/reportbug-git $ git rm -f ../INSTALL rm 'INSTALL' $ git ci -m "INSTALL is now provided by gnulib." ../INSTALL error: pathspec 'ALL' did not match any file(s) known to git. $ cd .. $ git ci -m "INSTALL is now provided by gnulib." INSTALL [master 0895314] INSTALL is now provided by gnulib. 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) delete mode 120000 INSTALL The thing I didn't understand is that I tried to check in ../INSTALL, but git complained about pathspec 'ALL'. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org
