Re: Git re-creates newly added directory when it is pushed

This is one of the reasons why "rebase" (especially "rebase -i") may
want to insist starting at the top-level of the working tree, like
"git bisect" does.  Because running the command from a subdirectory
works most of the time until it doesn't, people tend to complain why
they should go up to the top-level before they can run the command.

And this is why---it causes end-user confusion.

But there's no confusion here - git doesn't have to delete the directory 
and recreate it, but it does it anyway.

So this is just a bug that git disturbs users more than it should.
