I'm stumped on this one.
I'm in a repo and I push the master branch. If I do
git diff --name-only origin/master..master
after the push, I still see the names of the files I pushed because I
haven't updated origin/master yet, with a fetch. Of course, a "git
pull" would do it, but I don't want to do that, because I might be
using something other than `origin' and I don't want anything but the
single branch.
So, I naively thought that
git fetch origin master
would do the trick, but after that command the git diff above still
shows the same files.
To make matters worse (!!), I made this attempt:
$ git fetch origin master:origin/master
From git:/repo/git/acl
* [new branch] master -> origin/master
$ git diff origin/master..master
warning: refname 'origin/master' is ambiguous.
$
Uh oh.
$ git branch -a | grep origin/master
origin/master
origin/master
$ find .git/refs -type f | grep origin
.git/refs/heads/origin/master
.git/refs/remotes/origin/acl81
.git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
.git/refs/remotes/origin/master
$ cat .git/refs/heads/origin/master
28f0f4f2cdf37640b94cdbd65406898222593f28
$ cat .git/refs/remotes/origin/master
4be7cc89d335421a93e4551b40bd06108a030221
$
I'm going to leave my repo as is until a professionals helps me out,
lest I dig the hole deeper.
Thanks.
Kevin
