I manually added the tracking of the release branch picking some piece of code from update_remotes.sh:
$ git config --add svn-remote.release-3.3.url https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_3_3/madman/Rpacks/PACKAGENAME $ git config --add svn-remote.release-3.3.fetch :refs/remotes/git-svn-release-3.3 $ git fetch bioc remote: Counting objects: 7, done. remote: Total 7 (delta 3), reused 3 (delta 3), pack-reused 4 Unpacking objects: 100% (7/7), done. >From https://github.com/Bioconductor-mirror/roar 1a892c7..15b5049 master -> bioc/master * [new branch] release-3.3 -> bioc/release-3.3 $ git update-ref refs/remotes/git-svn-release-3.3 refs/remotes/bioc/release-3.3 It is not general with variables and so on as long as I was trying to understand the single steps. I suppose that it could be possible to fix update_remotes.sh to deal with the need to simply add a new tracking to the release branch, I could work on it this weekend if no one has already done that and if we think it could be useful.
