The simplest way to understand the current behavior is probably to install the latest git, read the git-clone man page, clone a new repository, and take a look at it. Remote branches are stored in separate namespaces under .git/refs/remotes/, so that they don't muck up your view of your local branches, and so git can enforce different policies for them (such as forbidding committing to them). --b. - 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
