Subject: 1.5.0.rc1.gb60d: fetch in another branch works strangely
Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2007 18:06:11 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200701132106.l0DL6BPH008314@laptop13.inf.utfsm.cl> (raw)

I created a new branch in the kernel to carry a not yet official patch, to
keep this up to date I do:

   $ git fetch git://git2.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
   $ git pull . origin

The kernel repository is quite old, so it has the old-fashoned setup. I
see:

  $ less .git/refs/heads/bz-7795 
  d132ed980aee1bdcc6fa02b91da95a357902eb3c
  $ less .git/refs/heads/origin  
  d39c9400ae0d60aaaf534b1ad860a9bc1413d8af

And this last ref doesn't change when fetching.

Strangely, each time I fetch it gets 7 new objects (I haven't pulled, I do
that once I'm sure I've got all). As I tend to doubt that we are /that/
syncronized with Linus, something fishy is going on here...

First noticed this with 1.5.0.rc1.g4494.
