$ git branch

Indeed, I am somehow no longer on the right branch.  It wasn't me that changed it though!

So I tried to switch:

$ git checkout ply-code-review
Warning: you are leaving 1 commit behind, not connected to
any of your branches:

  e88ef2c Additional code review of PLY code

If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this may be a good time
to do so with:

 git branch new_branch_name e88ef2cc25ba861da4d0b803c33defb13d36dc91

Switched to branch 'ply-code-review'

I guess the commit of improvements did not go onto the 'ply-code-review' branch?

Thanks,
