Thanks for all the responses so far. But if you take a look at my repo (http://repo.or.cz/w/Bookkeeping.git), at the bottom of the page, there's clearly a 'ui-integration' branch. But if I try to go to my ui-integration branch, I get the message below. So I'm just clueless as to where it went. If use the -b option, then I'll create a new branch. But I don't want that. I want to keep all the data that was in my original 'ui-integration' branch. [timothyw] ~/Projects/Bookkeeping.4 $ git checkout ui-integration error: pathspec 'ui-integration' did not match any file(s) known to git. These are what's in the files under my .git/ directory. And again, I'm foggy as to where my ui-integration branch went and to how to get it back.

It can happen either by explicitly detaching HEAD using "git checkout <commit>", or if you used rebase and it is still in progress.
