Hi Vaclav, Thanks for your extensive explanations! Much appreciated.
I think that I have probably found the missing part: I should have deleted the *entire* directory. By just deleting my fork and re-adding it as a "remote" I probably still had all the clutter in my local copy. Today I have - trashed the entire directory - clones the repo - deleted my fork and created it again - added the fork as a "remote" Magically (well, not really), it seems to be clean. Might that be the explanation, that I didn't properly start from scratch? It is true that git has a higher level of complexity compared to SVN but I hope to be back on track now. What might have happened: - I cherry-picked while travelling and tried to push over very bad network connection - I modified the local copy without updating from repo beforehand, then trying to push - as you guessed, I probably cherry-picked, didn't commit due to my network issues on the road, then other backports happened and I tried to push on top of that Question: would the (somewhere) existing backport bot help here? thanks again for your support, Markus _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
