Following https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/mini-primer.md form your other mail I was able to migrate from svn to git without running into any issues. Right now I am learning how to use git the way I sed svn before. I am just following 12-STABLE in order to build world and kernel. I am not developing, neither am I committing. I wonder how one would switch from a currently used branch (OLD) to another branch (NEW). With svn I used: svn switch svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/NEW /usr/src For git I found: git branch -m stable/OLD stable/NEW or git branch -M stable/OLD stable/NEW git-branch(1): With a -m or -M option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>. If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match <newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch renaming. If <newbranch> exists, -M must be used to force the rename to happen. I don't understand that text completely, because I don't know what a reflog is, yet ;-) Thus: Should I use "-m" or "-M" in my scenario when switching from stable/12 to stable/13 in the near future?
