jrnieder> yep
mcantor> jrnieder: But when I run "git remote show origin", I am seeing remote
branches, and whether or not they are tracked.
jrnieder> yep
mcantor> That is probably one of the least intuitive aspects of any piece of
software I have ever encountered in my entire life.
jrnieder> heh
jrnieder> the "tracked" bit in 'git remote show origin' output, you mean?
mcantor> Thank you very much for the explanation, though! I'm going to go have
a beer and possibly throw all of my computers in a ditch.
mcantor> (Yes, that is what I mean)
For reference, here's what output from "git remote show" looks like:
$ git remote show gitk
* remote gitk
Fetch URL: git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk
Push URL: git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk
HEAD branch: master
Remote branches:
asdf tracked
dev tracked
lines tracked
master tracked
new tracked
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (fast-forwardable)
Please make it more self-explanatory.
Thanks,
Jonathan
