Sourcetree seens deleted files that doesn't exists

Jean-Philippe M5

Hello,

I just started to configure a new OS X workstation, and after installing Sourcetree and cloning our repo, without doing anything else then cloning the repo, Sourcetree sees some deleted binary files (that yes, did exists at some point in the project) and place them as unstaged.

I though no problem, let's just stage them and they'll go away, theses are deleted files. Trying to stage them gives me this result:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false -c credential.helper=sourcetree rm -q -f -- file.jpg 

fatal: pathspec 'file.jpg' did not match any files

Completed with errors, see above

So they stay in unstaged, I can't stage them. Trying to discard or remove them gives me the same error.

Is there anyway I can have them go away

I'd appreciate seeing a screenshot to get a better idea of the state of things.

Here you go! ;-)

I notice that it looks like all the filenames have accents in them. Can your Mac's OS support filenames with those characters?

We have noticed that if attempt to clone a repo onto a workstation which doesn't support some of the filenames, it will show them as pending deletions (although that usually causes them to be staged - so it doesn't seem exactly like what's happening here).

Since these are just (showing up as) unstaged files that you don't wish, is the only real harm that they are cluttering up your list of unstaged files? Can you just add them all to .gitignore?

I'm on Mavericks, so I can't see why it wouldn't support accented characters... Unless putting the OS in english makes it unable to process them? That'd be silly, but still... And yes, putting them in .gitignore will be a solution, but I wanted to check if there was something else to do before ;-)

Hmm, I seem to be able to create files with accents on my Mac and to commit them to a git repo, so that doesn't seem to be it. I can't shake the feeling that it could be somehow related, though. If you do a git checkout of a commit that should have those files present, do they appear?

I'll be damned. They *are* in the repo over at bitbucket. I'm in a develop branch, it's the one I checked out locally also. Files are on the remote repo, but not locally. I can't ignore them on Sourcetree and trying to show in finder won't open either. Although, it sure has to do with accented character. I used the "copy path" to manually edit the .gitignore file and it comes up like this: Epices-moi-Gambas-pe^ches-5-150x150.jpg. As you can see, the accent is not placed correctly. And adding the files manually to the .gitignore just won't cut it either...
