...which doesn't really work since I did a few experiments in the clone and messed up the recipe by not checking the already existing configuration. So when you get the error message at step 4 you can salvage it with: $ git remote update $ git branch --set-upstream local-Makefile remote-tableheadings/Makefile $ git config branch.local-Makefile.rebase true In a fresh clone that does not have pre-existing definitions and configurations, this would be the right thing to do (and is a bit shorter): $ git remote add -t Makefile remote-tableheadings git://repo.or.cz/org-mode/org-tableheadings.git $ git remote update $ git branch --track local-Makefile remote-tableheadings/Makefile $ git config branch.local-Makefile.rebase true $ git checkout local-Makefile I tested it on a completely fresh clone this time. :-) Sorry for the confusion Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ SD adaptations for KORG EX-800 and Poly-800MkII V0.9: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#KorgSDada
