I have been using a git repository on my MacBook Pro (OS X Mountain Lion) for several months. Mostly, I've been using the SmartGit client, but also command line. Today, I changed several files and went to SmartGit to commit and push, and SmartGit had "missing" by the repo name.
Using Finder, I confirmed that the working tree folder and subfolders were all in good shape.
On the command line, "ls -a" showed a .gitignore file but no .git folder in the working tree folder.
Tried "git status" and it gave:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I do have the same repository on a Windows machine as well, where it's working fine. It's just missing those changed files on the MacBook Pro that hadn't been committed yet.
Suggestions on how to proceed?
