Git had some bugs that would clobber files on merge.
Including itself.

It be fixed, but if you sysupdated recently, you'll
need to get a fixed version of git, and revert some
files.

If you kept /dist/plan9front/.hg:

	# install a working git9
	hg pull -u https://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front
	cd /sys/src/cmd/git
	mk && mk install

	# revert the clobbered files
	hg revert /sys/src/cmd/git
	hg revert /sys/lib/git/common.rc
	hg revert /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/distproto

if if you deleted /dist/plan9front/.hg:

	# install a working git9
	cd /tmp
	hget http://shithub.us/git/ori/git9/HEAD/snap.tar.gz | tar xvz
	cd git9
	mk && mk install
	cd /
	rm -r /tmp/git9

	# revert the clobbered files
	bind -ac /dist/plan9front/ /
	git/revert /sys/src/cmd/git
	git/revert /sys/lib/git/common.rc
	git/revert /sys/lib/sysconfig/proto/distproto

Then, as usual:

	sysupdate
