I sent the following message to github support on 24 Feb but have | |
not yet received a reply. I will update this post when I do. | |
------ | |
I am on Windows 7 32-bit, using Github for Windows v 1.0, with | |
Cubic Explorer as my file browser. | |
I added some files to my repo using a file browser, then committed | |
them using Github for Windows. When I attempted to sync, it failed | |
with the error that the files were locked by another program such as | |
Visual Studio. That's fine, but it also *deleted all of those files | |
from the disk*. This seems like a huge flaw. I don't even understand | |
how a "locked" file could be deleted in the first place. | |
I was able to repeat this problem several times. The file browser was | |
the only program that could have been reading the files at the same | |
time as Github. |
The commit failed. Remember?
no, because you didn't tell.

what i understand from this sentence is commit is done and push is failed.
@femaref checking things out from a scm is nowhere near to repairing broken cars.
It's a stupid proposition in both cases. An SCM shouldn't delete files unless asked to.

No, they both failed. After the error message, the commits disappeared from the history: https://github.com/dbb/skyrim_ref_books/commits/master
Notice how "Add original book files" only appears once? These were the files that were deleted.
