Thanks for the idea! I experimented with git submodules in the past and the problem is that I have all my latex repositories checked out in my local texmf tree.

| Question | — |
Using Lua's `os.rename` to rename a file from a hard drive to a new location on a USB flash drive I'm using the `os.rename` function in a lua script.

However if the source file is on my hard drive and the target file i... (more) |

@#8046 It is me adding them accidentally, usually when I add a whole bunch of files at once, I don't remember them and do things like `git add *.pdf` or I just overlook them in my git program (gitkraken, sourcetree etc.) when I add the files.
