I probably should have said "Instead of just letting fetch temporarily store the result in FETCH_HEAD and using it from there, you saved it away; that's a good indication of you care about it deeply enough". It's really about what's convenient. I was somewhat upset that the behaviour change was not I was very aware of (perhaps I said it was a good idea and I then forgot), I didn't think the earlier behaviour was broken, but if I have to choose, I think the new behaviour is probably slightly nicer than the old one. - 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
