I scp'd a file to another machine for testing. The change tested OK,
so I checked it in on the original machine.
I'm now on the remote machine, and I'm trying to pull the same exact
file that exists on both local and remote. Git won't allow me to do
it, even with -f.
I'd really like -f (or another switch) to work as expected. I don't
like issuing extra command or extra typing.
How do I force the pull to succeed?
Thanks in adavnce.
