Drat. I didn't think about testing that when I did it. I don't know if it is something that can be done remotely or not. But locally it is simply the name in the gsl.git/HEAD file. $ cat HEAD ref: refs/heads/oldmaster I simply changed that to point to refs/heads/master to fix it. I just now did a clone to test it and the branch is now master. $ git branch -l * master Sorry about that. Fixed now. > The command appears to be: > git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master Hmm... A new command! It edits the file and does the same thing as the above. That would do it! I will add that command to the toolbox. > however this may need to be done directly on the savannah repository. Yes. Sorry again for missing that problem with the above. I should have double checked with a checkout. Bob
