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.
