After cloning a dgit repo I just did "git rm foobar" and then "git commit". The error occurred when I ran "dgit build-source". I don't think this is specific to the exact commands I ran but I was able to reproduce the issue by doing: $ dgit clone botch $ git rm tests/selfcontained/out/cyclic_src:apache2_950.xml $ git commit -m "delete apache" $ dgit build-source Thanks! cheers, josch
