git error: unable to index file Crashlytics.framework/Headers

Question

I am using Twitter\'s Fabric on my iOS app.

Crashlytics in Fabric just updated itself and now I cannot commit my project to git. I get the error:

Answer 1

This happened to me with IntelliJ IDEA. An error popup appeared when I tried to commit with the IDE git plugin. Probably this is related to the fact that I had staged a path that was previously a file but now is a directory, and have that previous file moved to the new directory.

Suppose that path is bin/yii. What I did was:

• Rename the directory to something different, e.g. bin/yii-temp
• Commit the directory and its contents
• Rename the directory back to bin/yii
• Commit with --amend what I had just committed.
