Git error (128) ! about neogit

[teto]

more worrying seems like neogit autoremoves some files, disabling neogit fixed it.

Not only that but pressing $ does nothing

I should probably change the message if the status buffer is not open, because $ is only mapped when inside the status window.

@teto which files were removed?

[teto]

It's a file I had just renamed. Everytime I opened it with neovim it would get emptied with neogit.

[TimUntersberger]

Could you please tell me the steps you took to encounter this issue?

@TimUntersberger The errors should come from the renamed file. If git detects a rename, the output looks as follows:

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
	renamed:    a.txt -> b.txt

We then naively put that into git commands:

 128 git diff a.txt -> b.txt
 128 git diff --cached a.txt -> b.txt

I can also reproduce that file getting emptied, most likely due to those diff commands. They'd be interpreted as piping the output from the diff commands to b.txt - which is nothing since the commands fail and their only output is on stderr
