Subject: Re: recovering from "unordered stage entries in index" error
Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 12:24:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPc5daVFA-FKTSUCRmb=JUr=H9ECtK8nJB3nyxHprCcJ+0CHBQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <D377A9280DB18546A2471214D5CBB0E908599428C7@exchdb01>
The message "unordered stage entries in index" comes only when
two adjacent entries in the index are in a wrong order, e.g. "test0"
should come before "test1" but somehow the index records them
in the other way around. Doing something like this:
$ git ls-files >Q
$ LANG=C LC_ALL=C sort Q >R
$ diff Q R
may tell you which entries are wrong, even though it wouldn't show
who made them wrong.
