Maybe it is a good idea since (at least i hope so) with an own branch you can still 'git pull' without conflicts while having own commits in the other branch. Have to try that out. I didn't know how to amend one of the earlier commits. Than I encountered 'git branch -a': * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/parallel-wget This let me try out 'git diff remotes/origin/master master'. I piped the output into a file and hand-removed the unrelevant changes. Not very elegant but should work. Regards, Tim
