Now, just "having" the objects locally doesn't change much, an object starts being really interesting if you have a reference (typically, a branch) pointing to it. "git fetch" will update the remote references (for example, origin/master), but won't touch the working tree, and won't do any merge, fast-forward or not, to a local branch. So, most likely, "git fetch" will be followed by either a merge or a rebase. -- Matthieu -- 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
