# The OSX Mavericks upgrade installer can totally corrupt group ownership of
# files in user home directories. Typically, it looks like the Mavericks installer
# simply sets (most? all?) of the files to the same gid as your uid, which may be nonsense.
# Specifically, most single-user OS X installs have uid=501 for the default user,
# so gid is typically 501 too.

# Step 0: make sure your user is still part of its group:
dseditgroup -o edit -t user -a <your_user_name> <your_user_name>

# (The second occurence of <your_user_name> is actually the group name)

def interleave(iterables, cmp=None, key=None, reverse=False):
    """
    Given a collection of iterables, walk through them in
    parallel, at each step yielding the current value
    that comes first in the sort order, and advancing
    that single iterator.

    If each iterable is already sorted, this will produce
    a total ordering. If not, it produces a 'greedy' ordering

I don't understand Git.

Why am I told I'm ahead of origin/master by 1 commit?

Why does it go away after what appears to be a no-op git push?

Here's an example interaction with git:

dave@machine ~/dev/project > git status
