When I do a git pull, I am getting a messages that changes to local
files would be overwritten by a merge, but I have not changed these
files locally at all, I have not opened them in my IDE.
This happens every now and then.
1) Why does this happen?
2) How do I prevent this from happening in the future?
3) How do I get out of this state so that I can do a git pull and
rebuild my code?

In other instances, when I do a git pull (not getting the message
above, I will see something like:
M src/MyClass.java <= a file that I did not touch or modify
D src/AnotherClass.java <= a file that I did not delete or touch
M src/MyModifiedClass.java <= a file that I indeed modified for
which in the pull there are no merge conflicts.
and the pull is successful, (then I want to push my changes), but I
did not change either of the above two files
If I see the above, am I OK to push? My thinking is that git thinks I
changed 'src/MyClass.java' and if I do a diff there are differences,
but I do not want to push because I NEVER TOUCHED THAT FILE IN ANY
WAY.
What is going on here? Maybe this is normal and I simply do not
understand correctly.
What is happening? I would expect to see only line items 'M' and 'D'
for files that I personally have modified and deleted.
If I push at this point, will I overwrite changes in the repo pushed
by others and muck things up?
thanks
J.V.
