Re: Corruption of branch?

wow right on the button. yeah i have the "frus" folder in the root of my 
repository. i never knew that git checkout also searches the root of the 
repository like that. it appears i'm a fool who doesn't read 
documentation...

i learned something knew and can move this from the "bizarre index 
corruption" category to the "user error" category. thanks so much everyone!
