I can't seem to get git status to return that a file has changed. I think my environment is hosed up, but I don't know for sure. My machine is ubuntu 8.04 with kernel 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMPx86_64 GNU/Linux . I set up a test repo and it added one file to it , modified the file and saved . Doing git status returns nothing, git gui finds no modified files. Doing git add * finds the modified file and stages it. I can get someone a strace for the git status it is only about a 1 page.
Thanks, Ben

You should have got something like the following:
# On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # new file: bar # # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # modified: bar #
BTW. you have made initial commit, did you?

Re: git status bug problem.
I made the initial commit. git-gui doesn't return anything either. Something tells me it isn't getting the cwd. Add git status * it will work correctly , but git-gui doesn't give anything.
somewhere@something:~/git_test$ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean)
somewhere@something:~/git_test$ git status * # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: test/test2.txt # Thanks, Ben On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 8:47 AM, Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com> wrote:

The file isn't by chance matched by a git ignore rule somewhere? An easy way to check is to try and git add the file, it will say you have to use -f if it does.

Re: git status bug problem.
Nope, it was an blank test repo . Did git init git add * (which added a few text files) did git commit -m "just a test" Modified the file , did git status and I get nothing . git-gui displays nothing . I think I hosed up something , either some dynamic lib or something. doing git status * gives me the files.
