Hi all, I seriously need help with git, I hope you can help. I'm working on a quite big open-source software projects which is managed with svn. Because I'm developing an extensive separate branch (a task that takes about one year or more), and for logistic reasons, I've got my copy which I keep up to date with the svn and manage locally with git.
I don't use many fancy git features: I initialized the repository, only adding the source file of a few directories (the others I'm not going to touch) and commit my edits regularly to keep track of what I'm changing and being able to revert (reset, in git talk) them if necessary. Well, a few hours ago I needed to reset the source code *in a specific subdirectory* to a previous state in order to check when a problem appeared, so I typed git reset --hard -q b793...(the revision number) ok, the code has been reverted, but all the files in the parent directory, which I (think I) had never added to the repository, and for sure I had never modified, have been destroyed, erase, canceled and wiped out. Is there any way to recover them? Where have they gone? I've been reading git documentation for hours now, but I cannot find any mention of similar issues. thank you in advance -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitHub" group.
