In another question it was recommend that I try resetting a remote tracking branch to an earlier commit and performing an import a second time. I can’t figure out how to do that! I can reset master, but not the branch master is tracking, cvs/master.
If I check out cvs/master, I’m not on a branch, so git-reset basically has no effect.
How do I change the commit to which cvs/master (or any arbitrary remote tracking branch) refers?
git-cvsimport remote branches are kind of faked out so I think you can just edit the appropriate file in your .git directory (.git/refs/remotes/cvs/master in this case) and put the appropriate commit I’d in the file. I’m not sure if this will fix the problem in your other question though…
