Got this message once. The reason was a git process still had a lock on the index file. Make sure you have no git processes left running from the interruption of git pull. ps -ux | grep "git" Manu On 1/5/07, Len Brown <lenb@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I kicked off a pull. Realized I was on the wrong branch and immediately did a ^C Now I can't change branches: # git checkout release fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists git reset --hard does not help. curiously, moving .git/index to /tmp and repeating results in the same error. clues? thanks, -Len - 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
