untracked file after fastforward

[waleo]

Hello,

After my last merge from upstream/master this file is showing up as untracked

"drcongo_data/originals/OMS_Rapport de Situation 01_Cas de gastro-ent\303\251rite h\303\251morragique et f\303\251brile.pdf"

After removing it locally, git thinks it needs to be git removed, which is weird. git ls-files shows it has been removed.

I'm not sure if you want to recover the untracked file, or remove it from the working tree, but here are the methods to do each:

If you want to recover the untracked file:

git add .

Then, the file will be staged, and you can commit and push it.

If you want to clean it out of the working tree:

git clean -n
git clean -f
git add -A
git commit -m 'Add comment'

Then, you can push that change out. The -n flag performs a test run, and the -f flag does the real thing.

Sorry is this something I need to do, or @waleo?

Anyone who checks the repository out can do it. I'm happy to submit a pull request if you like :) In that case, just let me know if you want the file added, or cleaned out.

I took the liberty of forking the repo, and I have a couple of branches: one that re-adds the untracked file, and another that cleans it out of the master branch. Here's the relevant commit from the re-adding branch:

tallenaz@350d50d

and the same from the cleanup branch:

tallenaz@0e1380b

Let me know which commit you'd like pulled, if either, and I'll issue a pull request for that branch. Cheers. :)

That's great, thanks! The cleanup branch please. :-)
