You probably should read main documentation about GIT then. What we have
on wiki is small pieces of information for people who some-what knows GIT.

but i dont want to know git, i just want to download latest source snapshot.

What this tells you is that you have modified dlls/user32/tests/menu.c

No i didnt. I only modified 2 files in wine/dlls/ws2_32/tests. Thats
why Im so flustrated. What Git echoes on the screen is is all random
garbage to me :/

file. And you either have to commit it, or discard the changes. If you
have your modifications in the GIT tree - commit them! If you don't care
about any changes in your tree, do 'git checkout -f'.

I did, twice :) and it still complained about something.

'git reset HEAD^' does something _completely_ different from what you
want. It "undoes" the last commit without modifying the source. You
should only use it to edit your own patches that you just committed.

I dont want to commit anything. Source of my flustration comes from
using SVN earlier. In SVN doing 'svn update' will just download latest
snapshot, nothing more nothing less, thats what I want from GIT, I
dont want to learn it, i dont want to have own tree with own patches,
merge commit, submit, none of it. I just want to download latest code,
and it takes me 10 minutes typing random commands from
wiki.winehq.org/GitWine and hoping for the best until git diff is
silent and other commands dont complain "blabla needs update".


So in summary, could someone please add a simple _"svn update" git
replacement_ to the wiki?
