Jeff King 03415ca8db t3600: document failure of rm across symbolic links 
If we have a symlink "d" that points to a directory, we
should not be able to remove "d/f". In the normal case,
where "d/f" does not exist in the index, we already disallow
this, as we only remove things that git knows about in the
index. So for something like:

  ln -s /outside/repo foo
  git add foo
  git rm foo/bar

we will properly produce an error (as there is no index
entry for foo/bar). However, if there is an index entry for
the path (e.g., because the movement is due to working tree
changes that have not yet been reflected in the index), we
will happily delete it, even though the path we delete from the
filesystem is not the same as the path in the index.

This patch documents that failure with a test.

While this is a bug, it should not be possible to cause
serious data loss with it. For any path that does not have
an index entry, we will complain and bail. For a path which
does have an index entry, we will do the usual up-to-date
content check. So even if the deleted path in the filesystem
is not the same as the one we are removing from the index,
we do know that they at least have the same content, and
that the content is included in HEAD.

That means the worst case is not the accidental loss of
content, but rather confusion by the user when a copy of a
file another part of the tree is removed. Which makes this
bug a minor and hard-to-trigger annoyance rather than a
data-loss bug (and hence the fix can be saved for a rainy
day when somebody feels like working on it).

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
