 Hi.

 I typed in "git BRANCH" by accident and got the error message:
"fatal: cannot handle BRANCH internally".

 What does that mean?

 It is different from the usual "git: 'yada-yada' is not a
git-command. See 'git --help'." message you get when you type in an
incorrect command name.

Just a guess; your git is installed on a case-challenged filesystem?

Thank you all for explaining this, and yes - this was detected on Windows with a NTFS drive set to case-insensitive.

But, if something is running git-branch here... why does this script/executable/whatever try to check the name it got called with? Why does it not simply do its work no matter the name it got called with?

If I'm asking something to obvious here - feel free to send me back to read the code... :-)

  Best regards,
