I kicked off a pull.
Realized I was on the wrong branch
and immediately did a ^C

Now I can't change branches:

# git checkout release
fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists
fatal: unable to create '.git/index': File exists

git reset --hard
does not help.

curiously, moving .git/index to /tmp and repeating
results in the same error.

clues?

thanks,
-Len
