While we're ay it, please next time consider *not* pulling but fetching - just as Magnus has suggested to you. The reason is that `git pull` does more than just getting changes from a remote repository: it tries to merge them into your local branch which is currently checked out, and this might easily not be what you'd expect. In other words, `git pull` contains too much magic which makes too much assumptions. Please consider reading this essay [1] for better explanation. 1. https://longair.net/blog/2009/04/16/git-fetch-and-merge/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
