Possible eGit bug...

Hi,

one of my users managed to create 4b825dc trees. In case you do not know what that is: it is a completely empty tree:

	$ git hash-object -t tree --stdin < /dev/null

The way he managed to create those trees was by using "git rm --cached" to remove all tracked files from a subdirectory and then committing using eGit.

I have the slight suspicion that eGit is at fault here. Possible? (Sorry, I cannot try myself...)

Ciao, Dscho
