If git stash doesn't work, you can always go nuclear and delete your METADATA folder, along with META_BRANCH and REQUIRE. Then when you Pkg.update() it will install a new METADATA and basically try again, but I think this will delete all of your installed packages so it really is a heavy-handed fix. Maybe Tony has a more refined solution.
