If a user can only *read* the files in the Git repository, what can
the user do with the repostiory using Git?

The problem seems to be that the Git process on the remote end has a
current working directory that it doesn't think is a Git reponsitory.
Most likely this is because the Git remote link has directed the
remote process to be in a directory that *isn't* a Git repository. Is

qgit is quite good. It isn't integrated into Emacs, but it does seem

Thanks for pointing out "-K".
It would probably be a bit cleaner to set the LESS environment
variable to "-K", though:

I think I can explain this more clearly:
You changed a file, but since you didn't add or commit it, none of the
branches is affected. git-status is just telling you that the file

The way to think about it is that you've just changed a file in the
working directory, it isn't *in* the branch or the repository. So

I'm working on using "git filter-branch" to remove the history of a
large file from my repository so as to reduce the size of the
repository. Generally, this pattern seems to be a correct way to do
this:

Do you have backups?
In the long run, you should use a tool that requires confirmation of
such a drastic action.
