Thanks.
data is a working copy and the first method you supplied worked. (rm then
up).
But please tell me:
There's a way to delete or add "all" files in a folder right? What
"wildcharacter" should I use?
cause * doesn't seem to work.
These *.gz files get generated all the time, and the one difference before
the failing commit was that I used a script to remove files older than 30
days.
(sorry for the resend)
