Subject: "git pull . <branch>" versus "git merge <branch>"
Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:51:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <484F2174.9020508@keyaccess.nl> (raw)
Good day.
The manpages seem to be making somewhat of a point of mentioning "git
pull . <branch>" as the way to merge a local branch into the current one
but a simple "git merge <branch>" seems to work well. Is there a difference?
Rene.
