Ahh, ok. Then, maybe another option is to go ahead and add and commit those deletions, then checkout the earlier branch? I'll try that a little later tonight before I try the reset, unless somebody tells me that would be a big mistake. (I guess after I do the add and commit, I won't need the reset, but in the meantime, I'll read up on reset.) Thanks! Randy Kramer
