Many git commands fail after deletions
If I delete files locally, but don't call git rm <file> for each one, many many commands then fail. Without manually doing a git rm <file> for each one, I get errors with checkout, status, and more. In standard git, removing files is automatically reflected.
yes. I need to restructure some things to fix this, and probably review how git behaves. For instance, if you delete a file, it does not automatically get deleted from the index (there are some special switches that perhaps do this), but i agree we should be getting errors.
as a temporary measure, touch file will at least get you past the error.
Thanks. This works. Look forward to a fix.

This was a problem in dulwich. We rely on dulwich for a lot. So there is sort of this trade of whether to try to fix dulwich, go the pull request route, etc, or try to have workarounds.
Right. Makes sense.

Noticed git.py in stash used a fork of dulwich. Just checking to see if the root issue was fixed in the dulwich master. Thanks!
