For unknown reasons that one set of book forgot the CSV Import settings file -- didn't show it in the drop down list.  The other books that had similar settings worked just fine,

Once I got the settings setup correctly for that missing one, then the import worked just fine.

I'm going to chalk this one up to operator panic.

The simplest is `git clone https://github.com/gnucash/gnucash /new/gnucash/directory from somewhere that isn’t already a git working directory. You’ll also need a new build directory and CMAKE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY. You can use the same CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH pointing at where all of the dependencies are.

To change a working directory to whatever 5.12-62 was you need the sha256 for the 62nd commit after 5.12. To find that enumerate all of the commits since 5.12 and filter the result to get to the 64th entry from the bottom:
    git log --oneline 5.12..5.13 | tail -n 64 | head -n 1
Which returns 948e07ac04 Merge latest translations from Weblate. Check that it’s the one you want with
    git describe 948e07ac04
It returns 5.12-62-g948e07ac04. Note that you might need to iterate a bit on that part, I tried tail -n 63, tail -n 62, and tail -n 64 to get the one you want.

Now that you have the sha256 you can tell git either
   git checkout 948e07ac04
or
   git reset —hard 948e07ac04

The first takes you off the branch and the second moves the head of the current branch to that commit. If you want to record that position so that you can get back to it easily you can
  git tag 5.12.62
After which you can use 5.12.62 instead of the sha256 in any command. You can use anything you want for the tag, 5.12.62 is just an example. You can tag a commit from either a checkout or a git reset.

Can you just clone the repo to a fresh folder?

What does that do for me and how do I do that?

Something weird on the CSV Transaction import in 5.13-2.  I'll try to figure it out later.

I need to revert back to 5.12-62 (my last compile that worked correctly) in order to get some time sensitive work done.

How can I get git reset to that point?  I've just done a git pull that ended me up at 5.13-2.

Note:  I did have a directory with that build but when I went there to issue the sudo make install it started doing the compiles all over again rather than just installing what had already been compiled in that folder.  So, now I need to force git back to the previous commit point to do a clean compile of 5.12-62 <<sigh>>
