I was using git gui and my wifi was lost during an operation. Now, when I look at my commit history there are several commits missing, and a gap in the history. Everything before the gap is connected with a red line, everything after by a green line. What has happened here and how do I go about restoring those lost commits?

  • Commits are local, why did you mention the WIFI? You need network cinbection to push/pull. – stdcall Jan 29 '13 at 11:11
  • I was working on a local repo, which is stored on an SMB share. When the wifi dipped out Windows switched to Offline Files. When wifi was restored, Windows asked me if I wanted to keep the network or local copies of a few files (head was one of them IIRC). I chose to keep the local copies since they should have been the latest. – Toby Newman Jan 29 '13 at 12:01
  • Use the command line ans type git status. Then paste the output here. – stdcall Jan 29 '13 at 13:20
  • $ git status # On branch Main nothing to commit (working directory clean) – Toby Newman Jan 31 '13 at 14:14

The colors of the lines in gitk is for disambiguating lines that cross. They have no other symbolic meaning.
