Hey,

We have an issue with cogito/git and not being able to remove symlinks from a central remote repo.

First try: cg-rm symlinks* Complains that I'm trying to delete directories without the -r option. So it's resolving the symlinks to the target directory.

git rm -f symlinks*
works. Symlinks are gone, push to repo, everything's happy.
However:

user A git rm -f's the symlinks, pushes to origin user B cg-update's, then cg-commit's, cg-push's a one line change in an unrelated file.

user A cg-update's, and the symlinks come back.

This happens over and over. They appear to disappear if cg-update does a fast forward, but not if it does a merge. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

I'm still looking at what exactly is going on when user B does that cg-update.

Thanks, -Dormando
