Do you happen to see something like this in the output: * master 5717922 Merge branch 'for_linus' linux-next 5717922 Merge branch 'for_linus' linux-next/HEAD 1234567 Something completely different linux-next/master 1234567 Something completely different In this case, your local branch 'linux-next' is probably a left-over from earlier experiments. The last two branches are actually what you want to refer to. Normally, the 'linux-next/HEAD' part allows you to refer to 'linux-next/master' by saying simply 'linux-next'. But unfortunately, your local branch name 'linux-next' takes precedence. 'git fetch' never updates your local branch, but only 'linux-next/master' (and its alias 'linux-next/HEAD' aka 'linux-next'). To return to a sane state, do 'git branch -D linux-next'. -- Hannes -- 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
