Hi Brian,
sounds odd, since git doesn't care about filesystem metadata of the files it
tracks - it just cares about their content. So if you did a 1:1 copy of the
repository directory onto another drive, unless something mangled the data
during that copy, not a thing should have changed from git's perspective...
Yes, absolutely - just installed the new NAS, put the old drive on a
temporary mount point, and did a simple copy.
If you are 100% certain you don't have any local modifications to files
tracked by git that warrant preserving (you can check that with `git diff`,
which shows you the changes made from the presently commited state), the
easiest way out probably is to `git reset --hard`, which will make git restore
all files it tracks to exactly the content as of the commit you are pointed
at.
Thanks, I will give it a try.
Of course, If that doesn't work or give you any other kind of trouble, you can
always just clone the source repository into another brand new location, and
resume your activities from there.
I was just being lazy, I have a script that updates the various repos
and it's much easier to edit a copy of that than to find all the URLs
again. :)
Thanks for the help (also Tomas)
Brian.
