Qtpass failed to commit to git after drag&drop

[christian-weiss]

When moving a sub dir to root dir on a git enabled password store (which has untracked dirs / files) the move procedure will work BUT committing and pushing it to git will fail with the error message in UI:

fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec . please use . instead if you meant to match all paths

This message is not very helpful for normal users. Please improve it and error handling.
Showing untracked dirs/files and asking if the user wants to commit them too is a good option.

To fix that i need to go to password store dir via git bash and type:

git status to see which dir/file is not yet tracked
git add <dir/file>
git commit -m "commit now tracked files, commit files of failed drag&drop"
git push

Windows 10 64-bit
QTpass 1.2.3
gpg2.exe: 2.0.26 (Gpg4win 2.2.2)
git.exe: git version 2.18.0.windows.1

I am getting this error, even when there are no untracked dirs/files. It fails on every drag&drop.

Same error appears on ubuntu, too. But only if you use "Nativ git/gpg" option in Settings / Programs.
With option "Use pass" this is working well.

Bug is still existing.

Updated environment:

• Windows 10 64-bit
• QtPass 1.3.2 (installed via choco 0.10.15)
• Set to "Native git/gpg"
• gpg2.exe: 2.0.26 (Gpg4win 2.2.2)
• git.exe: git version 2.18.0.windows.1

Steps to reproduce it:

1. create a password store with following structure

/username1/websiteA/password.gpg
/username1/websiteC/password.gpg
/username2/websiteB/password.gpg

2. drag "websiteA" and drop it on "username2" to create the following structure:

/username1/websiteC/password.gpg
/username2/websiteA/password.gpg
/username2/websiteB/password.gpg

You will see the error message:

fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec . please use . instead if you meant to match all paths

(drag and drop to root level creates the same issue)

When you open the password store folder (in git bash) you will see:

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

        renamed:    username1/websiteA/password.gpg -> username2/websiteA/password.gpg

So process breaks before creating a git commit.

I am getting same behavior on arch.

It is quite straight forward to reproduce for me.

1. Simply select Native git/gpg option
2. Rename a folder for example

Same fatal error will be displayed.

Hope that helps after all those years :-)

After compiling from master branch source and running the latest version, it works.

So I guess this will be fixed in next release.
