Hi all, Today I found my current branch (named cupcake) has disappeared. git@tomato:~/golf$ git branch -a htc_cupcake tmo_cupcake origin/HEAD origin/cupcake origin/device As you can see, there is no "*" to mark the current branch. But when I check the HEAD, it still pointed to the cupcake branch git@tomato:~/golf$ cat .git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/cupcake But when I check the ref/heads, the cupcake is missing git@tomato:~/golf$ ls .git/refs/heads/ htc_cupcake tmo_cupcake And the cupcake in still in the config: git@tomato:~/golf$ cat .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true sharedRepository = 1 [remote "origin"] url = /home/rick/golfresort/device/.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "cupcake"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/cupcake I'm confused: 1. I didn't do any aggressive operations. Why the branch has disappeared? Normally I have done these operation for this repo: i. pull from parent repo ii. cloned by children repo iii. pulled by children repo iv. pushed from children repo 2. Is there any way to resume the cupcake branch? Can I manually add the cupcake to ref/heads?
