  • updating from git issues

    Having issues updating, I tried to pull any changes and got the message:

    ```hint: You have divergent branches and need to specify how to reconcile them. hint: You can do so by running one of the following commands sometime before hint: your next pull:
    hint:
    hint: git config pull.rebase false # merge (the default strategy)
    hint: git config pull.rebase true # rebase
    hint: git config pull.ff only # fast-forward only
    hint:
    hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase, hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per hint: invocation.
    fatal: Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches.```

    I have made some minor dosemu changes which I assume this refers too, I didn't think I changed the rest, but I may have.

    Got a backup before all this, so no big deal. Can someone help me out as someone who only tinkers/understands git? I sort of feel like I have to stash the changes, pull then pop the stuff I stashed back out after everything is verified working.

    Let me know if I'm on the right track,
    -A.

    Does a 'git pull --rebase' work?
