Subject: Allow one-way tree merge to remove old files
Date: Sun, 14 May 2006 10:43:50 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0605141040210.3866@g5.osdl.org> (raw)


For some random reason (probably just because nobody noticed), the one-way 
merge strategy didn't mark deleted files as deleted, so if you used

	git-read-tree -m -u <newtree>

it would update the files that got changed in the index, but it would not 
delete the files that got deleted.

This should fix it, and I can't imagine that anybody depends on the old 
strange "update only existing files" behaviour.
