Yes, the "branch" command deals only with creating things in refs/heads, which are your local branches (similarly, "git tag" will only deal with stuff in refs/tags). So "git branch origin/foo" will make a ref "refs/heads/origin/foo", and "git branch -d origin/foo" will delete "refs/heads/origin/foo", not "refs/remotes/origin/foo". But when looking up a ref, the rules are used. So you can say: git branch master origin/master which will make "refs/heads/master" from "refs/remotes/origin/master". -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
