John, I did the following set of steps: git clone --reference ~/linux-2.6 \ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git junk cd junk git checkout -b everything origin/everything git pull Warning: No merge candidate found because value of config option "branch.everything.merge" does not match any remote branch fetched. No changes. I know that when I get the above warning, my branch "everything" is never updated. My previous wireless-2.6 tree was stuck at 2.6.23-rc9, whereas "git describe" lists the new tree at v2.6.24-rc1-155-g792296c. What am I doing wrong?
