Package: git-core
Version: 1:1.5.6.5-3+lenny2
Severity: important

I've got a git repository that I own and use regularly.
One entry, "test" is a symlink to another directory (also named test).
For various reasons I decided that it should now be a directory.
Using qgit, I saw that my modifications included the removal of the
"test" symlink, so I "sync'd".

However when I tried to add the directory and it's contents, sync
failed with an error.
I tried
    git-rm -r --cached <path-to-test>/test
which seemed to work.
Now I can't commit as the contents of the test directory are visible in
the commit dialog in git even though it lists the directory itself as
one of the "untracked files".
