Hello, while trying out git (version 1.7.9.5), I did this: git clone -- ssh://myserver/~rohloff/git/w1.git w1 So I just cloned a test repository. The in the cloned "w1" repository I executed: git branch origin/master git branch remotes/origin/master git branch refs/remotes/origin/master I now have got three *local* branches with the above names, which now seems to make it impossible to refer to the master branch from the "origin" *remote* repository. Wouldn't it make sense to forbid such names for local branches ? For example to enforce some rules like a local branch name *must not* start with "remotes/" or "refs/" ? so long Ingo -- 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
