Git 'working tree is dirty'??

[John Legelis]

Been trying to put together another patch, but been seeing this message for a while.  Not much online about the message... any insight?   Not that the csv file is not part of my patch - could my local Git index be corrupt?

C:\temp\CT\GoldenCheetah\src>git rebase -i origin/master

src/test/rides/2009_12_13_16_11_42.csv: needs update

Working tree is dirty

C:\temp\CT\GoldenCheetah\src>

John,

it is possible that git thinks the file has been modified. you can
try a git checkout to revert the file.

try:
git checkout src/test/rides/2009_12_13_16_11_42.csv

that should remove any changes, and allow you to rebase.

Thanks, but already tried that, results below.   Is there a way to check the validity/consistency of my local Git repository (i.e. chkdsk for Git)?

C:\temp\CT\GoldenCheetah>git checkout src/test/rides/2009_12_13_16_11_42.csv

C:\temp\CT\GoldenCheetah>git rebase -i origin/master

src/test/rides/2009_12_13_16_11_42.csv: needs update
