Hi, I am using a simple git based deployment for my rails app and here is my setup and current status: 1) Git repo initialized on my local development machine with a sample file. 2) Pushed to remote repo on Github.com 3) Subsequent pushes and pulls made from local development machine 4) Repository cloned on the deployed machine 5) Subsequent pulls made from the deployed machine (but no commits or pushes are made on this machine) Now when I run "git status" on the deployed machine it says : # On branch master # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 103 commits. git pull origin master -- says it is Already up to date git log -- appropriately shows till the latest commit however git log orign/master -- shows commits only till Jan 8th. also git rev-parse origin/master -- give different SHA1 values on my development machine and the deployed machine. Questions: =========== 1) Why does "git status" say that the local repo on the deployed machine (where no commits are made) is ahead of the remote by 103 commits? (This number, 103, increases with every "git pull origin master" and very likely the change is equal to the number of commits pulled) 2) Why is "git log orign/master" stuck at a Jan 8th commit? * How can I set these right? Even with these anomalies, "git pull origin master" on the deployed machine seems to be working just fine, in terms of the right revisions of files being pulled in and all that. Any help in understanding what caused these anomalies and suggestions to fix then would be very helpful. Kindly let me know if any more information is needed. -- Regards, Srirang G Doddihal Brahmana.
