I don't know what the mock command does... but if you meant: git checkout -f mock-0-6-branch then you want to add the origin/ prefix to qualify it, as you want the branch from the origin remote. That should cause your head to get detached however: git checkout -f origin/mock-0-6-branch at which point you aren't on any branch at all. So you might want to make your own mock-0-6-branch starting at your origin's current version: git checkout -f -b mock-0-6-branch origin/mock-0-6-branch -- Shawn. - 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
