You should be on the "master" branch. Sounds like something's gone wrong. Type "git branch" where you are, to see what's going on. > > Could anybody help me ? Does that help a bit? To fix things further, you shouldn't be doing your changes on master - it makes life a little difficult :-) Go to http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development and look at "Managing git branches". Do *all* your development on a feature branch, they're incredibly cheap performance-wise, and they make it so much easier when you're faffing about with patches. And if you mess up, they're so much easier to throw away! :-) You don't need to wipe your development directory and re-pull the entire thing :-) Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
