Subject: Bug: git-add .* errors out
Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2016 00:40:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFZEwPPSiy1dxZgxWg1saPcw2QWgHtZKx26oSN3g1mCv25=0AA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hey everyone,

One of my friend was trying to add files using the command `git add
.*` and got an error that "fatal: ..: '..' is outside repository"
which did seem a little obvious to me. But then I tried to reproduce
it in my machine with `git add ".*"` and it didn't error out. I am
currently using git 2.9.3 on Ubuntu 15.04 while he is using git 1.9.1
on Ubuntu 16.04. What might have gone wrong?

Regards,
Pranit Bauva
