You should read about the `fetch' command by reading (`git help fetch'), and make sure you understand how to use refspecs; you will probably find it very instructive to play around by specifying explicit refspecs to `git fetch' rather than relying on the implicit rules (which can be somewhat confusing). -- 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
