Yes, that's right. I found that a bit odd too, but it's really not bad once you get used to it. If you want to blow away ALL your changes, you can use "git reset --hard". If you want to remove all the untracked files from your working tree, you can use "git clean". ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
