Based on some offline discussion it was determined that the potential mishap may have been higher up the history, where Jeff did "git checkout origin/master" but we couldn't determine if this was the issue based on the bash history or whether he issued "git checkout master" as one would expect. So...it is possible that the issue was with checking out against a remote branch which you'll rarely want to do, unless you actually know why you are doing it.
