This is the output of 'git status':
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
  (commit or discard the untracked or modified content in submodules)
        modified:   dtc (new commits, modified content)

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        pixman/

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")


This is the output of 'git diff master':
diff --git a/dtc b/dtc

I have tried 'git clean -d -f', 'git reset --hard' and 'git pull'. I am now at

MakeFile.
