But I just realised that my "html" branch is stuck at 1.7.7: $ git branch -v -v | grep html html 8fb66e5 [origin/html] Autogenerated HTML docs for v1.7.7-138-g7f41b6 Is it possible that upto that point, the main git.git repo did carry this branch also? I have 3 remotes: $ git remote -v gc https://code.google.com/p/git-core (fetch) gc https://code.google.com/p/git-core (push) ghgit git://github.com/git/git.git (fetch) ghgit git://github.com/git/git.git (push) origin git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git (fetch) origin git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git (push) and all 3 of them carry this branch: $ git branch -a -v -v | grep html html 8fb66e5 [origin/html] Autogenerated HTML docs for v1.7.7-138-g7f41b6 remotes/gc/html 8fb66e5 Autogenerated HTML docs for v1.7.7-138-g7f41b6 remotes/ghgit/html 8fb66e5 Autogenerated HTML docs for v1.7.7-138-g7f41b6 remotes/origin/html 8fb66e5 Autogenerated HTML docs for v1.7.7-138-g7f41b6 Even if I had, at one point, added a remote specifically for html, I am sure it could not have created those refs! So I tried a prune: $ git remote update --prune Fetching origin x [deleted] (none) -> origin/html x [deleted] (none) -> origin/man Fetching ghgit x [deleted] (none) -> ghgit/html x [deleted] (none) -> ghgit/man Fetching gc x [deleted] (none) -> gc/html x [deleted] (none) -> gc/man and now I'm on par with the rest of you ;-) > You can, too, of course ;-) You can do even more! If you don't find a suitable website for this, it's trivial to host it yourself. You can host it on your intranet, if you have one. -- 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
