                    if ((f != '') && (f != '.gitignore') && (f != '404.html')) {
                        files = files.concat("\"" + f + "\" ");
                    }

                        files = files.concat("\"" + f + "\" ");
                    }
                });
                // return execPromise("git rm -r " + files);
                if (files) {
                    return execPromise("git rm -r " + files);
                } else {
                    return execPromise('git ls-files'); // do something
                }
            });
        }

It works.

Fix above worked at my end

Using Debian Jessie and Node 6.9

I'm responsible for this and am truly sorry. I wish it hadn't been included in 1.0.0-beta.22-1.

It has been fixed as of 1.0.0-beta.23 with the following:

return execPromise(`git rm -r ${files}`)
  .catch(() => {
    // Ignoring errors when trying to erase files.
  });

The issue is simply that git rm -r errors if it's not provided any files. This only happens upon initial deployment as there are no old files yet to remove.
