(and quite many missing and dangling blobs) I use msysGit 1.6.1-preview20081227 and I did: $ git checkout master $ git gui here I got again and again that stupid error message 'file fname.ext has been modified but no changes detected' so I did $ git add fname.ext $ git branch branch_1 (here I did a mistake. I wanted to do 'git checkout branch_1' ) And now is _everything_ seems to be lost... uaaaa :( What can I do now? Any would be REALLY appreciated Bost
