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 a

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 cr

I now see that the -a list option displays all of the branches. The branch names are preceded with remotes/origin. Don't know what that means or what is occurring when I check it out (from the local repository) to make it a local branch. Again, I am lost. (I come from the subversion world wh

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
