I have echo "ref: refs/remotes/origin/master" >.git/refs/heads/upstream so that my daily update script can go: git-fetch if [ repo is on master, and is not dirty ]; git-merge upstream fi Yesterday that worked. Today I get a rash of: fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/remotes/origin/master from my git-fetch. Is git-fetch broken, or am I? And if it's me, how do I do what I want instead? And when are we gonna get "fast forward only" for git-merge? -- Randal L.
