Ive been trying to use git.el in emacs When I checked out an internal commit (I guess that's called a detached head?) then git-status (in emacs) starts giving me Branch: fatal: ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref This goes away when I do git reset --hard <original-head-sha> -- git checkout master [I'm not sure this the best way of restoring the head] But my question is more about git in emacs. I gather that there are 3 options: 1. git.el 2. vc with git backend 3. dvc with git backend Which is best/preferable? Or is it best to stay with the command line? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
