With the above configuration, anytime you say "git pull" while on your v2.6.20 branch will fetch from "stable" and merge their 'master' branch in your current branch (i.e. v2.6.20 branch). - 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
