Thanks. I understand how to use git-fetch, it's more a case of whether even printing that message is useful? I appreciate it can only go on the cached value, but it is still misleading to print that in the case where the cache might not be up to date. Of course, determining that is a different problem. -- Thomas Adam -- 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
