Bug in git-gui. git-gui's clone feature isn't implemented in terms of git-clone. Its implemented in terms of more primitive actions: git init git remote add origin git fetch git fetch --tags git update-ref refs/heads/master origin/master git checkout however it forgets to setup the branch configuration: > If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to > configure the following variables in your configuration > file: > > branch.master.remote = <nickname> > branch.master.merge = <remote-ref> > remote.<nickname>.url = <url> > remote.<nickname>.fetch = <refspec> > > See git-config(1) for details. Yea. That author of git-gui should really check git-config(1) for detais. *ducks and hides* I'll try to fix it tonight or tomorrow. -- 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
