here's what I did rm -r portage git clone git@xxxxxxxxxx:xenoterracide/portage.git cd portage git checkout origin/regen2 -b regen2 git status # On branch regen2 # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # modified: x11-themes/metacity-themes/files/metacity-themes-1.0-gentoo.diff # modified: x11-themes/metacity-themes/files/metacity-themes-1.2-gentoo.diff # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") why are there files claiming to be modified? this is a clean clone. I've had this before I usually end up doing a git reset --hard HEAD, but I'm thinking it's a bug, since I've seen it vary on the same clone and sometimes even disappear. git version 1.6.0.6 -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com -- 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
