Subject: fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2007 11:50:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200701051150.09968.lenb@kernel.org> (raw)
I kicked off a pull.
Realized I was on the wrong branch
and immediately did a ^C
Now I can't change branches:
# git checkout release
fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists
fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists
git reset --hard
does not help.
curiously, moving .git/index to /tmp and repeating
results in the same error.
clues?
thanks,
-Len
