I think I did my best to try to do that (basing my attempts on current git documentation). Isn't it? > But that is different from "I decided to delete the tracking > _branch_". Yes, but the question is *why*? Isn't it an obvious application of deleting tracking branch? And, as I've already asked in another sub-thread of this one, what the following example in the man git-branch is supposed to achieve?: <quote Documentation/git-branch.txt> Delete unneeded branch:: + ------------ $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/.../git.git my.git $ cd my.git $ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man <1> $ git branch -D test <2> ------------ + <1> Delete remote-tracking branches "todo", "html", "man" </quote> Sorry, but I still believe that it's not me who needs fixing. -- Sergei. - 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
