Actually, I am quite certain that git clone does not produce the first line; But I think that it was necessary to put in some line like that in older git, where the first ref was the one being merged by a pull. But as I suspected, and Daniel replied, too, your issue is that both lines match "master". You might want to delete the first line, and use "branch.<name>.remote" and "branch.<name>.merge" to force pull to merge "master" instead. In the long run, it might be a good idea to cull duplicates in git-fetch, but for the moment I have enough other stuff to do ;-) Ciao, Dscho - 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
