The other nice thing about the new scheme is that if new branches appear in the remote repository, they automatically show up in remote/origin/*. Before, if new branches showed up after the initial clone, you'd never know about it and it wouldn't be possible to automatically create new branches in heads/ since it might conflict with an originally existing branch in the local namespace. So IMHO, the separation of namespace is definitely a good thing. - Ted - 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
