The people who mostly wrote it know git backwards and forwards, so the fact that someone very smart can't just do it immediately tells me that I am right that it isn't just zombies who can't figure it out, which I have been trying to say all along. http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/git_trac.html#chapter-git-trac http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/walk_through.html#branching-out In your specific case, if you already have a Sage copy with changes, and you haven't done any git commits, you could conceivably do something like git checkout -b my_branch (someone will tell me if my syntax is wrong, but I think it will create a new branch and take all the changes you made along with you) and then 'push' that. You presumably shouldn't have to clone, I *think* every Sage copy comes with a git repo at this point - is that correct, all? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
