Subject: Files that cannot be added to the index
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:26:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMvu5bLuRWinMYNc4NoRKQKiLCWLcwkpowEFT4GQ0mcJYj6eOg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Can anyone guess what's going on when I have a modified file that
shows up in `git status`, but the file cannot be added to the index
(or committed)? `git add FILE` does nothing, the file still shows as
modified but not added in `git status`.

I have two different repos that have each developed this problem with
two different files. I don't know how it happened. The problem occurs
wherever the repos are cloned. Even if I delete the local copy (where
I'm seeing the problem) and clone the repo again from elsewhere,
problem persists.
