I think it's just Daniel being unhappy because he didn't do the read-tree
+ checkout-cache + update-cache steps ;)
Btw, I'm going to stop cc'ing linux-kernel on git issues (after this
email, which also acts as an announcement for people who haven't noticed
already), since anybody who is interested in git can just use the
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list:
echo 'subscribe git' | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to get you subscribed (and you'll get a message back asking you to
authorize it to avoid spam - if you don't get anything back, it failed).

To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in
the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
