I had used git to clone back the strace code from sourceforge few days
ago. And then I copied these code
to somewhere else in my local computer and start to work in the local
directory. This is some kind same to
download from a snapshot because I lost the git data by just copying
the source code.
I will make changes to my repository and this time I will start from a clone.

Thank you for your advise about the workflow! I am really new to open
source project
and feel some kind lost about how the open source development work.
I found the strace code changing every week. And I will merge the
latest strace code
to my github regularly to keep up to date.
I am going to do some cleaning on my github. I tried some git commands
and it seems
brought some small problems to the repository. And I need to study
more about git and
the source control things.

Yes, I realized It would be better to make it clear what code I
accutually wrote.
In my strace_GSOC2014 repository, I had made a tag v1.0 to the base strace code.
