Git - Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set)

[Justin Sherrill]

That's weird, since you have a .git directory there.  Google queries
suggest "rm .git/index && git reset" but that seems to be from
something that was fixed in an older version of Git.

You could delete the files in /usr/src, including the .git*
directories, and re-download using the Makefile in /usr.  'cd /usr;
make src-create' (or src-create-shallow to save some time.)  You may
want to check that part of the Makefile to be sure it's downloading
the version of DragonFly you want - 2.10 or master.

Be careful - both of the things I suggested there are destructive, so
if they don't work, you'd need to restore files from history to get it
back to the same state.
