Peter, My suggestion: start over - just do the following in an empty directory.
----- git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene-solr.git # same as you did originally git checkout branch_6_3 ----- (BTW, branch_6_3 is *not* the 6.3.0 branch. It is the 6.3.x branch - future 6.3.x patch releases will be built off of it - but the name of the branch is spelled without the “.x”) -- Steve www.lucidworks.com > On Nov 17, 2016, at 2:52 PM, Cotroneo, Peter (ELS) <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I used git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene-solr.git (per > https://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute#Be_Involved), which worked fine. > Then I tried various git checkout branch_ variations, including branch_6_3. > After that I tried git iniit, followed by get checkout, which I saw in a few > past postings.
