I got the error message

while upgrading ArgParse from v0.4.0 to v0.5.0.

My first issue. Thanks, a lot. Niklas

The commit is definitely there. If this is the only package on which you see such error, I suspect a temporary github problem. Can you try again, perhaps in a while?

[nbonacker]

With Julia 0.6.0. there is no problem. Everything is working fine. The error remains for Julia 0.5.0.

Thanks. Niklas

This is very weird, I have never seen anything like it.
Maybe some kind of issue with your local .julia directory? You could try to go into ~/.julia/v0.5/ArgParse and see if git status tells you anything out of the ordinary.

Great. I am on branch master again. Sorry.

mac20:ArgParse bonacker$ git status
Not currently on any branch.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
mac20:ArgParse bonacker$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Everything works fine. Going on with statistical mechanics. Thanks. Niclas

I'm glad it's working again, although the "not currently in any branch" previous status was in fact the normal working condition for a Julia package. Oh well.
