I find the branching, merging, and rebasing confusing, particularly these sections in the Pro Git book: http://progit.org/book/ch3-2.html http://progit.org/book/ch3-4.html http://progit.org/book/ch3-5.html http://progit.org/book/ch3-6.html It's just so different from Mercurial, and some familiar commands do different things. I'm mainly interested in working on public repositories, so the remote branches are important. Does deleting a branch erase it from the repository? Does it erase its changesets? it seemed to indicate you could access a deleted branch but I didn't see how. What if your repository is full of unused branches and changesets that are taking too much disk space, can you delete them for real or do they remain in the repository forever? -- Mike Orr <[email protected]>
