Noobie here I am using Git on an ubuntu box, but I am working with Window's files on a Samba network server. I have all kinds for problems with case. The files I'm handling I have to treat as binary and the software sometimes arbitrarily changes the file name's case (old software, long story). I have Git ignoring case (but evidently not correctly) and it gets confused as to when a file is deleted or just renamed. I have to be very careful that files get added to the branch as renamed and not deleted. Bottom line is I messed up, changed a file in a branch, then got it deleted (either by rm or by committing as deleted not sure). I have found previous versions of the file "git log -- filename", but I can't seem to find a version that is the one I want.
So, if I rm deleted it while making changes in a branch, then committed are the changes gone? 2.) I've tried a few methods of setting case ignore and maybe the issue is I've got too many things going on. Is there an ideal way to make git ignore case everywhere I am working with this repository? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
