Hi Anatoly, Hopefully I've understood your questions... So each time you do a commit on your branch those become revisions/versions in your local repository. If you're not committing changes as you go then your local repository isn't changed. When you merge your branch back into trunk it depends on how "clean" you want your history. There are a couple of things you can do to ensure that all your interim commits on your branch do not appear in the trunk history, specifically *interactive rebasing* and/or enable -*-no-ff* on merges.
I won't go into all the details here as there are plenty of good resources where people have covered this far better than I could. One great resource is this - http://rypress.com/tutorials/git/index.html If I were you I'd go through the full guide but the sections that might answer your questions are: Rebasing - http://rypress.com/tutorials/git/rebasing.html Rewriting History - http://rypress.com/tutorials/git/rewriting-history.html Another great set of tips, best practice, guides can be found here - http://alblue.bandlem.com/Tag/git/ HTH On Thursday, 31 January 2013 08:49:08 UTC, Anatoly Krasner wrote: > > I want to use Git to manage a C++ project.
