Did I say throw away? I said start over and keep everything in
"keepmeuntilmyproblemsareresolved". ;)

Where did this go?
Everything showed up as desired?

It seems like somehow you just git a bunch of commits in there that you
might not want. On the other hand, maybe you even want them. That I just
can't tell....

Try to analyze the situation and see what the history is, to which
branches it belongs. Once you find out what you need it is pretty
straight forward to get in back in shape.

It is hard to do it with the "Glaskugel" though. ;)

Greets and hth,
Peter

P.S.: I find 'gitk --all' pretty usefull in these cases but dont know
the win equivalent.
