All,

I believe my origin/master local git checkout is almost fixed, but I have several nasty warning and errors that remain when I run:

/scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean

The error are primarily with main/thirdparty and scripts. The full output of /scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean is available here along with the git status:

A summary of the errors are:

The git status command shows the following:

02:38 phoinix:/dat_e/tde> git status On branch master Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, and have 8401 and 3271 different commits each, respectively. (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)

Changes to be committed: (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

modified: .gitmodules deleted: main/applications/kdmtheme

Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

modified: experimental (new commits) modified: main/applications/abakus (new commits) modified: main/applications/adept (new commits) modified: main/applications/amarok (new commits) <snip>

I was able to manually 'git rm main/applications/kdmtheme' to resolve that issue, but no matter if I "git add <file>..." or "git checkout -- <file>...", when I go to "git commit -a" I am left in vim with:

03:22 phoinix:/dat_e/tde> cat .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # # Committer: David C. Rankin <david (the at symbot) rlfpllc.com> # # On branch master # Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, # and have 8401 and 3271 different commits each, respectively. # (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours) # # Changes to be committed: # modified: .gitmodules # modified: experimental # modified: main/applications/abakus # modified: main/applications/adept # modified: main/applications/amarok # modified: main/applications/basket

I just want to overwrite whatever I have with HEAD, not commit anything back to git.trinitydesktop.org -- so what should I do when I am prompted by git commit -a with this long file of commented changes?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
