I am an org-mode (emacs-mode) user. org-mode uses git -- so those who want to stay upto date with the devel version use git pull, followed by a re-build. Recently the build system has been made more elaborate having a number of makefiles and pre-process makefiles: http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html gives a summary of this infrastructure.
Now recently my org-mode stopped working. I narrowed the problem to some disappeared makefiles. [git status output below] Running git reset --hard now gives me $ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) and now orgmode seems to be working. So now my questions: 1. How did/could those files have been deleted -- as I said I am not a developer and so have none of my own modifications? 2. Is reset --hard the correct way?
