I used to be able to create a branch that tracked master (or another local branch) by using "git branch --track new-branch" from that checked-out branch. However, this functionality was apparently removed and now the --track option is silently ignored for local branches. I'd love to have this functionality restored. Is there a problem with local branches being supported when explicitly requested? ..wayne.. - 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
