In 1.6.6, if I do: $ git pull --all Fetching origin Fetching gnome You asked to pull from the remote '--all', but did not specify a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line. The fetch all remotes works, but shouldn't the "--all" option only apply to the fetch operation? It looks like it's getting noticed by the merge part of the pull. -- 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
