Hello,

A while ago I have cloned on my computer a git repo. Since then, the developers have modified several files in the repo. Now I want to update my copy with the latest changes.

I do 'git pull' but I get 'Your local changes to .... would be overwritten by merge.  Aborting.' I didn't modified any local file. I tried using 'git stash save' but no luck.

How can I make git update and override my local copy? With all the fuss about it, I thought I will handle this operation pretty easily.

Thank you, Daniel
