Not sure about what is hapening, this question.
I have the fgdata files on my system, downloaded with git.
In that dir is a file named version , and the contend 2.12.0
Flightgear does not like that, but 2.11.0 is good. So I change the content of version to 2.11.0. It is just a file .
Now flightgear starts and is okay.
But.... now git complains. ofcourse. so I change it vise versa...
Working in git I set it to 2.12.0. Flying with flightgear I set it to 2.11.0 . everybody happy I think.
When I create a file in gui/dialog/ fgplot.xml and do ls of that file, it is there. But when I change the version in the version file
ls says file is not there? Then I cannot add it to the git-database.
so if the version in the version file is set to 2.11.0, then it is gone when in "git-mode" version 2.12.0.
What silly thingy is git ? What is going on?
This says to me there are some hidden filesystems or something like that.
Edit: I found it I have to take care the version is set to 2.12.0 befor any checkout command is done ! I now created 2 versions and the checkout command inserts/deletes the files...
So the new question is, how to get rid of the 2.11.0 git-release I created on my system for the fgdata.
