Thanks, but I have pushed out a slightly different change. -- >8 -- branch -r -v: do not spit out garbage The codepath to emit relationship between the branch and what it tracks forgot to initialize a string buffer stat[] to empty when showing a tracking branch. This moves the emptying so that the buffer starts as empty and stays so when no information is added to fix this issue.
