Yea, I think that option actually predates the --track thing that git-branch does these days. Its designed to save a mouse click if you are working in a corporate centralized repository model and need to switch branches multiple times per day, always grabbing the latest from the centralized repository when possible. > On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 1:34 PM, Sitaram Chamarty <sitaramc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Using git gui to create tracking branches only creates the local > > branch, but does not establish tracking.

Right. I don't use the --track feature (branch.$name.remote, branch.$name.merge) in my own work, so I have never had the desire or need to make sure that git-gui sets this up for you. I'll try to work up a patch this evening. -- Shawn. -- 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
