Subject: cogito "origin" vs. HEAD
Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 13:24:19 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1115090660.6156.56.camel@gaston> (raw)
Hi !
So it's my understanding that linus only uses this HEAD that symlinks
to .git/refs/heads/master as his head of tree.
However, when using cogito, it creates another one here called "origin"
that matches the "origin" branch (I don't like "branch" here, it's more
like a source of objects than a branch...) locally. Is this actually the
content of the remote's HEAD or is git also looking for a remote
"refs/heads/origin" ?
So when I later do cg-pull or cg-update origin to update, my "origin"
pointer is updated I suppose to the new head of the remote repository,
does it also update my local "refs/heads/master" ? Or not ? What happens
to it ? does anything will use my local HEAD -> refs/heads/master/
ever ? If I want to publish my tree, what will remote cogito's try to
rsync down ? HEAD ? origin ?
Ben.
