Thanks Olivier,
I'm wondering if the problem is that I used Git-GUI to do the initial clone and
add/commit rather than the console. And Git-GUI doesn't tell you exactly what
it's doing.
One point - Git is installed in my Program Files directory (the default), which
Windows protects from casual overwriting. If Git wants to write in this
directory, it might fail. Could this be an issue? I'd have expected at least an
error message.
2)
OK. But I get the same:
Peter@Peter-PC2 MINGW64 /d/peter/pc/git/lohelp (master)
$ git commit -m "Try 4th time" help
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
modified: help (modified content)
no changes added to commit
Peter@Peter-PC2 MINGW64 /d/peter/pc/git/lohelp (master)
$
4)
$ git diff help
diff --git a/help b/help
--- a/help
+++ b/help
@@ -1 +1 @@

Hello Peter
some remarks
1)
git status: Strange... the modified file should have the full path listed
modified: path/to/file/filename.xhp
2)
git commit -m "3rd party"
You must give the name of the file you modified for commit. That is
git commit -m "3rd party" file1 file2 file3...
3)
git add help
This "help" stuff is already been under git control, no need ot add it
again.
4)
git status
Same as 1.
"git diff" will list the changes you did since last "git pull"
regards
Olivier
