I added a new subdir within my git respository:

git add feeds

Then commited this and pushed it up to GitHub but it seems as though I've commited a symlink / shortcut but not the actual directory and files within.

See here: http://github.com/G4EGK/RSS-Reader

Any idea what 'feeds' is?

I'd like to remove that and correctly add my files. I tried the following but git status said nothing had changed:

git rm feeds
git add feeds/\*.php

To remove feeds do I run the following?

git filter-branch --tree-filter 'rm -f feeds' HEAD
