Move each file back to their original names, thus creating a local > edit w.r.t. git Actually, on my git (1.6.0.4) this just magically works due to the fact that 'git init' sets up the repository with HEAD pointing to refs/heads/master (which doesn't exist yet) and you go ahead and create the master branch with the 'git branch' command. In other words, in this particular situation the 'git checkout' command is completely unnecessary and if you just run a 'git status' you should already see that git sees all the differences already as local edits (assuming you didn't call you branch in the 'git branch' step something other than master). -- Andrew Ruder <andy@xxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.aeruder.net -- 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
