Hello,
When I pull a specific branch from a repository I get in a state where
git thinks I am ahead of the branch by one commit. The use case is a
programmer that doesn't want to pull all the branches of the server.
I have made a small script to reproduce the problem:
----
#!/bin/sh
rm -rf foo bar
git --version
mkdir foo
cd foo
git init
echo foo > foo.txt
git add foo.txt
git commit -am"foo"
git checkout -b branch
cd ..
git clone foo bar
cd foo
echo bar > foo.txt
git commit -am"bar"
cd ..
cd bar
git pull origin branch
git status
git branch -rv
----
I get the following output:
----
git version 1.7.3.5

# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
#

origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/branch eefa065 foo
origin/master eefa065 foo
----
I expected to not be ahead of origin/master and that origin/branch
points to 7ecd065. Is this a bug?
Take care,
