Assuming a full installation in /usr/local/git-1.6.6/ and thus that the git commands are installed at /usr/local/git-1.6.6/libexec/git-core/, the reset for 1.6.6 would look like this: $ GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/rawdata/ \ GIT_DIR=$HOME/rawdata/.git \ GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/local/git-1.6.6/libexec/git-core/ \ /usr/local/git-1.6.6/bin/git reset --hard -- Cheers, Ray Chuan -- 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
