Hi, List I have two branches in the remote, say, origin/master, origin/foo. Then when I tried to switch to the remote foo branch, the following two methods gave me different results:
1. git checkout foo 2. git checkout origin/foo The first method run silently with success, but the second method complains that I got a 'detached HEAD'. So, I think I don't understand the difference between 'foo' and 'origin/foo'. Can someone give me a hint? Supposing I have another remote defined in .git/config that points to another repository but also have a same name branch, say 'remote-x/foo', how do I tell git which 'foo' I want to switch to? The similar problem also exists for 'fetch' command to me. From the man page, I don't find answer of how to specify which remote I am going to fetch from. Can you help me? Thanks in advance. -- woody I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
