Greetings from Russia, comrads!
I've noticed something strange with git status when replacing a folder with symlink to another folder.
There is a git repo with script with demo in the attachment.
Yours sincerely,
NickKolok aka Nikolay Avdeev.
Доброго времени суток, товарищи!
При замене папки на симлинк на другую папку с похожими, но не одинаковыми файлами git status ведёт себя странно.
Прилагаю архив с репозиторием. В скрипте - пример и пояснения.
С уважением,
Николай Авдеев aka NickKolok.

I think there is a bug here:
+ mkdir bug
+ cd bug
+ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/bug/.git/
+ mkdir dir1 dir2
+ echo 1
+ echo 1
+ echo 2a
+ echo 2b
+ git add dir1/1.txt dir1/2.txt dir2/1.txt dir2/2.txt
+ git commit -m first
[master (root-commit) b60ecc8] first
4 files changed, 4 insertions(+)
create mode 100644 dir1/1.txt
create mode 100644 dir1/2.txt
create mode 100644 dir2/1.txt
create mode 100644 dir2/2.txt
+ rm -r dir2
+ ln -s dir1 dir2
+ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working
directory)
deleted: dir2/2.txt
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
dir2
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
It looks like git status is thinking dir2/1.txt still exists with the
same content, even though dir2 is gone, and now an untracked symlink.
Moreover, git diff and git status disagree with each other:
dennis@spirit:/tmp/bug$ git status
