This was a mistake IMHO, so I ended up resetting my u-boot-fdt master branch back to before I made the changes and moved the New Improved[tm] patches into the "fdt" branch. I ended up having to force a pull from the master u-boot tree on my "master" branch to recover. I've pushed the resynchronized u-boot-fdt "master" branch back to denx.de, so I believe everything is clean again. If you've cloned the u-boot-fdt tree prior to tonight, approximately 23:00 GMT? 2007-07-05, you may have to do a -f force on a git pull or simply re-clone the u-boot-fdt repo. My apologies if this causes you grief. FWIIW, my current best custodian repo technique is: * Do my work in a different branch than "master" ("fdt" in my case) * Keep the "master" branch in sync with u-boot-fdt by pulling it. $ git pull git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git * Rebase my working branch to the "master" to move my changes "after" the "master" branch (which should alway reflects The Master Repo) This should allow Wolfgang to pull the branch without having any merge conflicts because the custodian will have seen and fixed them already. $ git rebase master The proof in the pudding will be when Wolfgang pulls the changes into The Master Repo... gvb
