cannot delete a file #323

Hi - We are trying to delete config.json file in our repo. When we clone the repo locally and run bfg, config.json is not found but we find other json files ..

When we look at github, the file exists and accessible via the following url :

https://github.com/XXX/XXX/blob/ed77aa2a7a33d22ea2ad13a3b7941c27be4135/test/config/config.json

we run : *bfg -D ".json" --no-blob-protection**

Appreciate if you can shed some light? Thanks!
