Git pulling up wrong directory
Bryan
I'm having a problem when using RStudio and Git on our company intranet and I'm not sure if it's something with the way I've set things up, the network, Git, or RStudio.
When I start a new RStudio project on our intranet (either by creating a new directory or using an existing one) and then go the Git tab there is a very long list of files, probably 1000 or more, waiting to be dealt with. These look like system files, for example rasppppoe.sys, raspptp.sys, rasauto.dll, so my assumption is that Git is monitoring the wrong directory. I've been using RStudio and Git for only a little while, but I don't have this problem when starting a project locally on my machine. Googling hasn't turned anything up so any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Bryan

Bryan,
We're not doing anything special here other than calling git status in that specific directory. You should get the same results if you go to that directory from the terminal and call
git status.Josh
