That's really what you want though. You can think of the remotes/origin/VTK-GraphConversions branch, as your local mirror of the remote branch. You will never commit to it directly because then it wouldn't mirror the remote server. That's why git puts you on a "detached head" when you try to check it out. So what you really want to do is create a local branch that is linked to the remote branch, that you can then commit to and push back upstream. See my previous email about how to ensure you get the upstream configuration set up using the --track option. dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
