Could that be the cause? git gc does not do any evil as long as you're not accessing the repo with another client at the same time. So, have you lost any commits? Maybe something like git log --graph --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all will give you a clearer picture of where your commits went. If they're not there then inspecting the reflog of HEAD may help: git log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate HEAD Michael -- 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
