Did you try fetching? If so, are you sure your fetch refspec will update the tracking ref appropriately? Through what protocol are you pushing? Only the git protocol will update local tracking refs on push; http will not. How are you invoking push? Are you using the remote name, so that it can find the tracking ref (pushing directly to the URL, even if you have a remote matching that URL, will not update tracking refs). Finally, what version of git are you using? Recent versions of send-pack will update tracking refs for pushed _and_ up-to-date refs, but versions prior to 1.6.0.4 would only do so for things that actually got pushed. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
