Has anyone else had recent issues with pulling in commits?

I had a copy of the github repo, checked out to the next branch. I had one
extra file, a build script that used /tmp instead of $PWD. The extra file
was the only change made to the repository. Today I did a git fetch.

    wmaker: Restore multi screen functionality by reverting wrong commits
[jhriv@chao:~/Projects/wmaker-crm-broken] (next↓55↑36|…)± git status
On branch next
Your branch and 'origin/next' have diverged,
and have 36 and 55 different commits each, respectively.
  (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

build.sh

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)


Git pull resulted in a merge conflict. Unsurprising, since I somehow
managed to get 36 commits that aren't on the remote repository.

Solution: do a fresh git clone, and checkout the next branch.

The commit that I was on is now gone. I'm assuming it, and 35 other
commits, was nuked from the repository somehow. My question is how that
happened, and if anyone else noticed it.
