Hi Mike, When you think git does not behave as you expect, please do not stop your bug report with just "git does not work". "I used git in this way, but it did not work" is not much better, neither is "I used git in this way, and X happend, which is broken". It often is that git is correct to cause X happen in such a case, and it is your expectation that is broken. People would not know what other result Y you expected to see instead of X, if you left it unsaid. Please remember to always state - what you wanted to achieve; - what you did (the version of git and the command sequence to reproduce the behavior); - what you saw happen (X above); - what you expected to see (Y above); and - how the last two are different. See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html for further hints. (The above was shamelessly copied from the "A note from the maintainer" mails) D.
