Works fine here (meaning I can examine 'upstream' as I would any other branch, and it points to the same place as origin/master). Why is git-fetch touching your upstream branch at all? Do you have something in your .git/config instructing it to do so? Or do you mean that the 'git-merge upstream' command is failing? Can you 'git-show upstream'? If not, can you 'git-show origin/master'? -Peff - 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
