Hi,
I was a bit hasty the other day and did something stupid. I
added a new folder to git annex. Something like
git annex add my-important folder
my-important folder contains a lot of files and it took a couple
of minutes to add. When I then tried to do
git commit -am 'added files'
per the walkthrough I got an error (9, as I recall). I thought
I'd added too many files or something so I wanted to start over
and perhaps I didn't fully understand the mechanisms of annex I
did the following
git reset --hard .
Unfortunately, did replaced my files with a bunch of symlinks,
rather than making git annex forget and go back to the previous
stage as I had hoped.
I have managed to recover most of my files from backup, but some
of them I still can't recover. Is there any way back? It seems
I still have the files in my git folder.
Thanks,
Rasmus
