Just before I committed, I had staged all my changes by using git .. (I was in a sub directory) and I had run git status to see the staged changes. Git had staged only the changed files at that point, just as expected.
In the command line, I run git commit with a message, get this response:
Auto packing the repository in background for optimum performance.
See "git help gc" for manual housekeeping.
[SelectingDate 910641c4] Switching from many visibility animators to one translate animated view. Cuts down time to update list significantly.
7 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-)
rename mobile/features/itemLists/CursorItemsCoordinator/{AnimatedVisibilityCursor.native.js => AnimatedTranslatingCursor.native.js} (52%)
Not used to seeing the auto packing message, though I've found other articles that could help me get rid of it. Nevertheless, according to his cl response, the changes seem to have been committed.
Then I immediately run git status and to my surprise, this is the response:
On branch SelectingDate
No commits yet
It then lists all files in my repository as being staged.
The files in my repo seem to be updated to their current version, which is good. Does any one know what might have happened that would have removed all commits from my current branch / how to get them back (if possible)?
Here's the command line interaction in full:
