[Vm-dev] reattaching a detatched git head...

[John McIntosh]

you need to make a branch

 git checkout -b Eliot    "that will make a branch at the current
HEAD/commit point with any of your pending changing"

stage & commit any work to the Eliot branch

checkout Cog

merge Eliot        "To merge any changes into Cog"

push Cog back to github.
