After modifying a file and saving in Win32 Vim, the filemode was changed and git would say there was a change. See :help backupcopy in vim for more info. The fix is to add this to your .vimrc:<code> :set backupcopy=yes </code> If something else causes this that you can't control, you can tell git to ignore these changes with this:<code> git repo-config core.fileMode false </code> ===== External Links ===== * http://blog.philhersh.com/weblog/2009/09/git-on-windows.html * http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vimdev/message/47472 docs/git/fixing_cygwin_file_mode_changes.txt Last modified: 2009/11/06 12:45by billh
