Hi David, I think there's something amiss here.
Theoretically, after that reset --hard origin/master, your branch should not be ahead any more. I just tried this here and it works as expected: tfn...@t:~/git-repos/one-repo-clone/>git status # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 7 commits. # nothing to commit (working directory clean) tfn...@t:~/git-repos/one-repo-clone/>git reset --hard origin/master HEAD is now at b061d63 Committing something at Thu Nov 11 11:23:44 CET 2010 tfn...@t:~/git-repos/one-repo-clone/>git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) tfn...@t:~/git-repos/one-repo-clone/> What version of git are you using?
