Hi,

again and again (first I ignored it) I get the
following with version 1.6.0:
git pull

remote: Compressing objects: 100% (31/31), done.
remote: Total 34 (delta 10), reused 24 (delta 3)
Unpacking objects: 100% (34/34), done.

There is nothing special going out, the simple pull should succeed, but
I have to try several times; don't know whether the "git status" is
instrumental here or not --- will try the next time.

Saying 'git status' refreshes the index.  If you have touched (updated
mtime) local_html.mak without making any changes, 'git merge' just
compared the mtime and considered the file changed.  But 'git status'
actually compares the contents and finds it has not been changed.  I
don't know whether 1.6 (most likely builtin-merge) changed behaviour
in this respect, maybe you could try with an older version too.

There are other cases where you need a refresh, for example if you
have made a copy of a git-tracked directory with 'cp -r'.

Yes, it is. It runs git update-index --refresh.

I think Junio fixed this two days ago in 9ca8f60 ("git-merge": allow
fast-forwarding in a stat-dirty tree). Could you please confirm?

Thanks.
