I last pulled and compiled 3.20 in February. Today, when doing so based on a recommendation about some silly upside-down ! display error, I got the following error:

git -C /sbbs/repo pull
[...]
hint: You have divergent branches and need to specify how to reconcile them. hint: You can do so by running one of the following commands sometime before hint: your next pull:
hint:
hint: git config pull.rebase false # merge
hint: git config pull.rebase true # rebase
hint: git config pull.ff only # fast-forward only
hint:
hint: You can replace "git config" with "git config --global" to set a default hint: preference for all repositories. You can also pass --rebase, --no-rebase, hint: or --ff-only on the command line to override the configured default per hint: invocation.
fatal: Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches.

Needless to say I have no idea what to do here. I am guessing something changed on the site since February.

Thanks.

Yes, large source file was purged from the git history, as I posted about in the Synchronet Announcements sub.

For recovery, see https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:git#reset

Thanks.

FYI, when you get a chance, on the page where it tells you that you might
need to update text.dat after doing a git, it would be nice to have a wget example there to make it easy to copy and pull it.
