Comment Post #287152 @#53177 Thank you very much for your comment! This indeed showed the message "Cross-device link". I did not yet find a credible source for lua, but for python `os.rename` seems to be limited to operations within the same file system, which would totally explain, why I had this problem.

Comment Post #285368 @#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.

Comment Post #285368 @#8046 Could you elaborate a bit what kind of git hook you have in mind to prevent unwanted committing?

Comment Post #285366 @#8046 I very much like my flat file structure without nesting too many directories. I also work on bigger, collaborative projects like beamer, which have an existing structure that long predates me.

Comment Post #285366 @#8062 Yes, that is technically possible. Personally I love my flat file structure, but for other people with the same problem that might be a solution. Can you write that up as a short answer?
