Subject: git-add: remove conflicting entry when adding.
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.0-rc0~90
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c33ab0dd100d91d417b5ed3378acbf3310c07cec;p=git.git

git-add: remove conflicting entry when adding.

When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a
file A/B in it in the index, 'git add' did not succeed because
it forgot to pass the allow-replace flag to add_cache_entry().

It might be safer to leave this as an error and require the user
to explicitly remove the existing A first before adding A/B
since it is an unusual case, but doing that automatically is
much easier to use.
