Hello!

I have some troubles with git command ³read-tree².

I have big project and I try to add shared library to subdirectory. So I
made the following in my project (on master)

git remote add git@bitbucket.org:ijin1984/groundwork.git
git fetch groundwork
git checkout ­b gwbranch groundwork/master
git checkout master
git read-tree --prefix=mb/trunk/src/ru.uralsib.dbo.client.iphone/libs/ -u
gwbranch
git commit ­m ³add groundwork to libs²
After that I make small change in one file inside libs (for example in
"mb/trunk/src/ru.uralsib.dbo.client.iphone/libs/groundwork/notes.txt² and
commit with 
git commit ­a ­m ³test commit²

Then I made: 
git checkout gwbranch
git merge --squash -s subtree --no-commit master

And after this instead of merging I find the whole main project in subdir
³groundwork/Groundwork/Base.lproj².

If I do the 5-th command with ‹prefix option value equal to for example
³libs² tether than something like ³subdir/subsubdir/Š/libs² - all works
fine.

I think that it is bag, because I experimented quite a lot with deferrent
values. I think that problem in directory name with dots, i.e.
"ru.uralsib.dbo.client.iphone².

Could you please help me with this issue. If you need to add some more
info about this case I will provide.

Thanks in advance.

Some more info:

	If I use in 5-th command “—prefix=--prefix=mb/trunk/src/libs“ - issue is
reproduced

	If “—prefix=--prefix=mb/libs“ - all work fine

	With “—prefix=--prefix=mb/trunk/libs“ I haven’t tried, if it is desired
to check this case, just let me know.
