It is unclear what was the current branch before (a custom local one, 
"bugfix" or "main" tracking the upstream) and whether all local changes 
were committed.



   502  ado git-pullv # says what's new etc.


I have no idea concerning "ado" and "git-pullv". The "git pull" command 
should add changes from the tracked remote branch to your local one.



   503  git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/bugfix bugfix
#i was told to do this.  it worked ok before.  but now it tells me i
have to do something.


This command was necessary just once per local branch when you were 
switching from the orgmode.org git repository to savannah. Another use 
case is when you want associate a new local branch with a remote one.



   504  cd $delbig
   505  cd 9bugfix #symlink


So the commands above and below were executed in unrelated clones.


   506  git status
   507  ado git-pullv
   508  git pull
   509  git fetch --tags origin #desperation sets in


"git pull" should fetch changes from the remote branch. "git fetch" 
obtains changes for all remote branches (remotes/origin/bugfix, etc.) 
without touching the local one. So "git fetch" should not break anything.


Perhaps you had a branch that was tracking remotes/origin/main, you 
forced to set tracked branch to remotes/origin/bugfix and "git pull" 
failed in the process of merging changes from these branches. Usually 
the reasonable action is to abort by the command suggested in the "git 
status" output to get the state before "git pull".



   510  git status
   511  ado git-pullv
# this is the !@#$ it moment.  should work for sure.  ha ha.

   517  cd org-mode--vanilla-bugfix--ok-to-pull--xyzzy-nomost


I am lost whether you are in the directory with the fresh clone. I would 
assume it.



   518  git status
   519  git gc


Unnecessary in a fresh clone. You may make it impossible recover local 
changes if you run it when you are unsure where you are. Will you throw 
away garbage when you lost some precious thing and there is a chance 
that you put it into the bin with a heap of other stuff?



   520  git status
   521  git branch bugfix


This may be a cause of confusion. The default branch of the org 
repository is "main" (am I right?) and in the fresh clone you should be 
on "main". By this command you created a local branch named "bugfix" but 
unrelated to the upstream branch. The current (HEAD) commit of the local 
"bugfix" points to the current commit.



   522  git status
   523  git branch
   524  git checkout bugfix


This would be a correct command that creates local "bugfix" tracking 
remote "bugfix" unless you executed "git branch bugfix" before. Now you 
are on a commit from "main".



   525  git status
   526  ado git-pullv
   527  ado diffoldnew cat .git/config
   528  git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/bugfix bugfix


I may be wrong with my assumption, but you created local "bugfix" 
pointing to a commit from remotes/origin/main and forced it to track 
remotes/origin/bugfix. The message from your first post is the plausible 
consequence of "git pull" from this state.


If you goal is a clean clone with "bugfix" as the current branch you may do

git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/org-mode.git \
org-mode--vanilla-bugfix--ok-to-pull--xyzzy-nomost
cd org-mode--vanilla-bugfix--ok-to-pull--xyzzy-nomost
git checkout bugfix

Do you need to recover commits with your local changes or your are 
experimenting with clean upstream "bugfix" and "main" branches?

cannot disagree but also it is one which is too much for me most of
the time given my cognitive decline.  i try to stick to the basics and
it throws me into stress territory when even just blowing away the
existing and cloning doesn't work.

sticking to the basics /usually/ works.  yeah, it's a dag, you
checkout stuff, you avoid fancy stuff like plutonium.  actiually it
can have muluple roots but never mind that. git is like they say about
war.  boredom punctuated by terror.

Just make will trigger compilation.
make oldorg will also trigger building Info manual (in addition to compilation).
make cleanall is good to do to avoid Emacs re-using stale .elc files.

local.mk may need to be cleaned. Ideally, you just keep your specific
customizations there. Then, you do not need to clean it.

(I guess that the need to clean local.mk must not be necessary. But Org
does not do a great job defining some of the makefile settings)

It looks like you tried to merge into the "bugfix" branch the "main" branch.

Do you have history of last git commands, e.g. in an emacs eshell 
buffer? Please, post them.


Likely the safe path is to keep ";; Version: 9.6.7" from the cited fragment,

 git add lisp/org.el
 git merge --continue

now create a temporary branch to not loose changes you may commit to 
local "bugfix" by mistake


git branch tmp-bugfix-dirty

You will remove it as soon as you figure out that you changes are not 
lost. I suggest to store reflog to a temporary file


git reflog | tee 2023-06-30_git-reflog.txt

it may help to restore how you came to this state.

I expect that

git branch --show-current

reports "bugfix". To ensure it

git checkout bugfix

to make your local "bugfix" branch matching the upstream one

git reset --hard bugfix

Now you can inspect diff with tmp-bugfix-dirty and cherry-pick commits 
to the branch containing your changes on the top of "bugfix".


Git is a flexible and powerful tool.

Re: basic git

i did it a few times, it broke, i did what you did, which is really
the same except like -a, it works, i moved that to my dir, it works
for now.  thanks.  older git.

apropos of nothing, btw what does one do to make org these days?

make cleanall;make?  make oldorg?

as for other repos [i keep multiple copies for speed in switching for
testing] to clean up an old org with a local.mk do i just delete that
file?  can i keep doing make oldorg?
