Have you checked your hard drive recently? Any disk
issues could cause a mess in GIT, and I would argue could be likely to show up in
GIT before anything else simply because the entire GIT tree uses many
tens of thousands of small files.
Nothing wrong with the drive. Just yesterday when booting the scheduled fsck ran on that
partition.
I was able to sync the tree after moving the contents of the kmplayer directory. Sort of
--- nothing filled in to replace the missing files. I still get the "You are not
currently on a branch..." messages with many modules.
I don't want to waste 4+ GB of bandwidth recreating a whole new local tree, but I
don't know what else to do. Not to mention that with a new tree none of the modules
will have my user name in the config files.
