Thanks for the response. It feels like if I want to do this, I need to make a custom git gui that collects the objects and then runs git add like you show. On Friday, October 18, 2013 6:45:02 AM UTC-4, Konstantin Khomoutov wrote: On Thu, 17 Oct 2013 15:55:52 -0700 (PDT) Aaron Cook

[git-users] How to merge seperate repositories as branches in new repository?

I appreciate your response, but I don't think it is related to my question. My local repository is up-to-date as shown. I understand that my query's are against my local repository. The point is that git first reports one branch, and then it reports two, when nothing has changed in the local

Thank you very much for the help! I have that book. I think I'll some reading. My mind is so SVN oriented that when I read the books I keep thinking 'but how would I do x? y? Z?' Perhaps x, y, and z don't make sense with this new model. From what you are saying, I gather that branches

I suggest you work through the example again using something like gitk. That will show you what branches there are and show you the difference between the local and remote branches of the same name. Using gitk between operations is highly instructive as you learn to use git. Forget all you know
