Or you may not be the owner of the repository, you think you are doing a read-only operation, and you silently end up creating a file that cannot be written by the repository owner? Honestly, I think this whole "just in case the user moved without telling us, we sneakily fix things without telling the user" should just go away. This is not the first incidence of a tool trying to be overly clever and pretend to know better than the end user biting us, is it? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
