OK, the documentation is clear if I ignore that. I expect it to be "well behaved" if I'm on a tracking branch and give it no arguments, or if the single refspec argument is the correct remote for the branch I'm on. Otherwise (not a tracking branch) the docs just say "It's complicated, backward compatibility" and presumably involves those non-existent Pull: lines and the state of the remote's HEAD. > Maybe it's because I'm using a fairly recent version > (1.6.2.1.307.g91408). I'm running git version (1.6.2.msysgit.0.186.gf7512), and I assume my coworker's was a bit older. --John TradeStation Group, Inc. is a publicly-traded holding company (NASDAQ GS: TRAD) of three operating subsidiaries, TradeStation Securities, Inc.
