That makes them somewhat like a set of local branches on a conventional VCS, perhaps. > https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Working-with-Remotes Ah, and there are merge rules to compensate, I see.

I keep a "git" mail folder for accumulating informative tidbits, and continued exposure eases the transition should that have to move into a higher gear.
