Hello Karel, You should blow away your copy (well, preserve the patches), upgrade your version of Git and then check out again. You've run into this bug: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/193492 Cheers, Edward Excerpts from Karel Gardas's message of 2014-07-20 18:55:08 +0100:
