Cacphony - possible issue with some git filter-base
Hate to bug you again, but need to get some info on how you guys handle this.
I did some git filter-branch on the repo to remove a directory that never should have been added to begin with. So naturally, a simple git pull is going to fail. How exactly do you handle this situation?

Vadtec,
OK, I'm confused... Have you made a change to the repo where it is reorganized now or is the repo unchanged? I can accommodate either scenario.
If you didn't want to bother to change the repo and all the undesirables are in a single directory, you can set up a Choose files to ignore
setting to eliminate it. You seem to have already set up one of these.
If the repo has already been changed, I can do another re-fetch after the change and it should work OK.
Let me know...
Thanks!
ssnow,
Yes, I have made the changes already. I should have realized it would be an issue when I pushed to the remote repo, but I didn't think of it until I had already updated the remote repo.
And yes, I told it to ignore that dir, but I decide it would be better to filter the repo than to let it lay around.
So, please do the re-fetch. Much appreciated.

Vadtec,
Have started a re-fetch. The update was in failure as you suspected. Should be OK. Eventually you can remove the ignore setting (or not...) Will monitor the progress.
Thanks!
