You can use the shorthand $foo to refer to refs/remotes/$foo/HEAD. Which means, in the default case, you can refer to just "origin" to talk about origin's master branch. But as Daniel noted, that is really about local preference for "what is the most interesting branch on the remote". You might want to track what the remote sets to HEAD, or you might want to set it individually. -Peff -- 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
