How to build an old version of LibO

[Ruslan Kabatsayev]

Hi,

So you want to reset your local branch to libreoffice-4-2, right? I
think what you need is switching to your local branch and doing

git reset --hard origin/libreoffice-4-2

This should ensure that you reset to the "real" libreoffice-4-2 branch
from remote, not to anything you might have messed up in your local
libreoffice-4-2 branch.

Regards,
Ruslan
