[FieldTrip] ft_channelrepair with channel absent from data

[Johanna Zumer]

Hi Tom and Trippers,

To add to Jorn's more detailed answer, if you are ever in doubt as to where
to find a FT function, which may be hidden in a private directory (and
don't know which of the many private directories to search in), then
remember that you can always search for functions on the google FT code
page, which doesn't hide the private functions!

http://code.google.com/p/fieldtrip/source/browse/

and after searching for ft_fetch_sens
http://code.google.com/p/fieldtrip/source/search?q=ft_fetch_sens&origq=ft_fetch_sens&btnG=Search+Trunk

> 2) What might be causing the error I'm seeing?
> 3) Where is ft_fetch_sens?

> Thanks for help with any of the above!
