2·11 hours ago- Get a weird error message about fast-forwarding local branch detached from remote while merging with a helpful suggestion to change your config.
- The config change made the error message slightly different.
- Google the error messages. Only one hit. The git source code.
- Try to clone the git repo to investigate.
- Get a new error message. Nothing makes sense now.
- Burn house down, move to New Zealand, live as a sheep. Git will never harm you again.
