Thank you for the lecture. As stated upthread, "I've scoured all likely-looking manpages, wikipedia, and installed git-doc, without yet elucidating why I see only the trunk" [1]. Finding only manpage documentation accompanying git, I found and downloaded the git-doc package. It is in that package, not the git packages advocated under the heading "1.1. Install git on your system" at http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Git that I found tutorial.txt. (i.e. as installed according to the wiki, neither the tutorial nor the user manual were included with git. [2]) > Your question is very well answered by the git user manual (probably better > than I could have answered it): Grateful thanks, Jeff. It certainly answers it much better than the wiki, whose misleading information led to my question: Why does "git branch" _not_ show all the branches, despite the claim to the contrary in the wiki? [1] I do not claim to have read all the documentation in the 2 - 3 hrs I've spent installing and learning git. Certainly not yet enough to resolve an apparent fallacy in the wiki. Is there any chance we can fix up the wiki, now that you've shown us how it's actually done? (I'll do it, if I have access, but as previously stated, I'm no expert. Most of my mental image of local and remote branches is as yet inferred from very limited reading, and virtually no practice.) Thank you again, for resolving the contradiction. Erik [2] Confirmed by an "apt-get remove git-doc" removing both manuals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
