I made do with windows git 2.26 - unfortunately it does not play well with cygwin git
My first attempt at windows git worktree add produced: "Working tree has modifications. Cannot add." Very surprising since it was a fresh clone - but using cygwin git Turns out the error is from a git diff-index HEAD at https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh#L617 windows git diff-index showed two kinds of false positives 1. new files: :100644 100644 b5ae85651031085a9dc89f584d235e48f0502837 000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000 M LICENSE this is fixed with windows git update-index LICENSE 2. file permissions change :100755 100644 ae8fb75816f99be89c0171fb5b287149f52c19be ae8fb75816f99be89c0171fb 5b287149f52c19be M googletest/ci/build-linux-bazel.sh this is fixed with windows git config core.filemode false Bit easier is insuring the repo was cloned with windows git in the first place - but it's good to know where the two versions don't agree I can't say which version is at fault for the inconsistency On Sunday, April 12, 2020, 09:17:32 AM EDT, Steven Penny <svnp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Will git contrib/subtree be in the next release?
