I was trying to clone Android Goldfish kernel source code by using the following command,
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish
but as it needed to download around 900MB of data I thought what the heck and went through with this one,
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish --branch android-goldfish-3.4 --depth 1
this reduced the download size to around 120MB and the downloading was done but with an error during unpacking objects.
Later when I used git status I saw a large number of files were deleted and they were shown as if they not even added and committed. I, foolishly, added them and committed them as new commit named 'local commit'.
git log --oneline
ca6ded2 Local Commit
2a51970 Merge branch 'android-3.4' into android-goldfish-3.4
c9cb2c8 UPSTREAM: netfilter: x_tables: fix unconditional helper
ac342b9 Merge branch 'android-3.4' into android-goldfish-3.4
Now after checking the files on remote, it became clear that the files which were shown deleted and which I committed are in the remote but not showing locally. So I tried to reset to previous commit. But these errors are shown:
git reset 2a51970

My question: Is there a way to fix this without initiating the cloning process again. AND Was the cloning done properly or I did something wrong there?
Thank you.
