I have a list of modifications when I run git status, but I cannot stage them or commit them. How can I fix this?
This occurred after pulling the kernelmode directory from a bare repository somewhere in one huge commit.
% git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: kernelmode/linux-2.6.33/Documentation/IO-mapping.txt
# ...
$ git add .
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: kernelmode/linux-2.6.33/Documentation/IO-mapping.txt
