I have used 

git update-index --assume-unchanged [directory name]

and expected that 

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged [directory name]

would undo that command. However, it says "Ignoring path [directory name]" and the directly continues to be ignored.

I have also tried 

git update-index --really-refresh --no-assume-unchanged [directory name]

but that did not work either.

I have tried doing 

git update-index --no-assume-unchanged [file]

for each file inside the directory, but the directory is still being ignored.

I am using git version 1.8.4.mysysgit.0

Is there another way to make git stop ignoring a directory?

  • Maybe try `git update-index --no-assume-unchanged dirname/*` (because Git only tracks files, not directories) – knittl Jan 23 '14 at 17:49
  • @knittl I tried your suggestion and it is unable to do it because there is a sub directory that has spaces in the name. At least I am assuming that is why. It says, "fatal: Unable to mark file [sub directory name with spaces]" – Turo61 Jan 23 '14 at 17:58
  • @knittl I tried your suggestion on the sub directory and it seems to have worked. Thanks. I must have missed individual files when I was doing it file by file. – Turo61 Jan 23 '14 at 18:23
