Hi All,

Finally, I fully restored my local netman sources from a full system
backup I made on the 8th December 2015. Updating was a matter of only
deleting the netman/debian directory and using "git pull".

My goal was always to use the least invasive of methods to recover my
sources. This was why I was very cautious about using any git command
that would impact the uploaded sources.

This experience is shouting at me to always keep a backup whenever I git push.

The terminal text output of the procedure is shown below.
