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.
