Dear diary, on Tue, Jan 31, 2006 at 05:13:18AM CET, I got a letter
where Jonas Fonseca [off-list ref] said that...

A few Cogito bugs I found yesterday.

 - cg-fetch between local repos fails when the cloned branch URL does
   not point to a .git directory and a needed object from the repository
   being cloned is packed. git-local-fetch expects a .git directory.

Can't reproduce and I don't buy it. The very first line of local fetch
handler is

	[ -d "$uri/.git" ] && uri="$uri/.git"

I cannot reproduce it either and my strace file is long gone thanks to
cg-clean. Come to think of it it might have been caused by a pack file
not following the more strict name rules which recently was introduced
in GIT.

 - cg-status reports a deleted file both as deleted and as unknown:

	fonseca@antimatter:~/src/elinks/0.12 > git --version
	git version 1.1.6.g1506
	fonseca@antimatter:~/src/elinks/0.12 > cg --version
	cogito-0.17pre.GIT (d3aa9a2b3375e36c774ea477492db76baa1db03e)
	fonseca@antimatter:~/src/elinks/0.12 > cg rm AUTHORS
	Removing file AUTHORS
	fonseca@antimatter:~/src/elinks/0.12 > cg status | grep AUTHORS
	? AUTHORS
	D AUTHORS

This is fine, I'd say. The file was not deleted from the tree, either do
that manually by rm or say cg-rm -f.

Yes, I guess you are right, this is a special case. But I think it needs
to be noted that this is 'normal'. Something like this vague patch
signed-off-by me.
