Hey all, I've become the "guy to ask about git" in my company and people are always getting into a mess with git. So in turn I try to get git to be a more friendly. Today someone had a problem. Basically they had done: $ git checkout -t origin/mybranch fatal: git checkout: --track and --no-track require -b So they do exactly what it tells them: $ git checkout -b -t origin/mybranch Switched to a new branch "-t" doh How can we make this less easy for people to shoot themselves in the foot? The behavior of -t has changed recently iirc, so I think that problem has gone away? Also: $ git branch -D -t Doesn't work. I can see why, but it does make my life difficult :-D John -- 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
