See [1] for more information. I think for some reason, eGit put a tag object to HEAD, while it should be a commit object. By resetting it back to the commit that the tag points to, you may be able to commit again. No history would be lost. Also if you use --soft, index should be untouched. As always, back up your repository (copy the whole directory, including .git) before doing anything. [1] http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-reset.html -- Duy
