[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Introduction / FreeBSD supporter seeks mentor

Quoting Jim Long <evergreen at umpquanet.com>:

There was a typo in my original email, that should be

git rebase origin/master

Without the / it does something very different. If you do the above,  
you will get conflicts.

Did you do the above after doing the git checkout -b freebsd-compat  
working/user/dyrcona/freebsd-compat ? If so, the file *should* be there.

Doing the git rebase may have switched branches on you. I'd try a git  
checkout freebsd-compat to make sure.
