Damn,

  I thought I had this, now I'm confused (happens). Just so I'm keeping up,
since I create tarballs from the tree before building -- what kind of reset do I
do?

GIT = (Great Indecipherable Technology)

  In theory backing up should be simple, but I've never done it. Whatever reset
we do has to back out all the updates from that point forward so when I step
through the tree and create tarballs, I get what I'm supposed to get when I tar
the source up.

  Do we have a consensus on Tim's:

git reset --hard HEAD
git checkout <hash>

executed from within each module?

  OK, I'm going with this :)
