real git pull grief

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have not changed any code and just tried to do a git pull and get
the following message:

Updating 527f1ee..18cf73e
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
        java/..../Info.java
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
Aborting
----------


I HAVE NOT CHANGED THIS FILE.  It is telling me that my local
changes.... huh? I have not changed or modified the file.

----
When I do a $git status I see a lot of other files that begin with:

#       modified: ....
<many of these>


How do I get out of this mess?  I do not want to reset head.  I want
to get back to the state where it does not think I have modified a
specific set of files... namely the files that I did not change.


How did I get into this state?  How do I prevent from getting into
this state in the future?  How do I get out of this state now?


thanks for all the help.
