Pieter, thanks for your advice.
I am never using the push command here.
Box A has branches master and blah.
On Box B I just want to pull branch master.
When I try to do that on box B I get the master branch from box A but I
get the changes made to branch blah on box A.
I do not understand why, on box B, the master branch is showing changes
made to the blah branch on box A. (Yet on box A the changes to the blah
branch are not shown in the master)
Apologies for my babbling.
Adam

Once this is done I double check my branches and it shows I still
only have the master. Perfect. However, when I check the file I
edited on my local machine on the blah branch, the changes are there.
Am I fundamentally misunderstanding the correct usage of git? Is this
result expected?
Yes, git pull will never change anything on the remote side. You
should use 'git push' for that. But, you shouldn't push to repository
with a working directory unless you know what you're doing -- read
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare for that.
