Subject: git-branch silently ignores --track on local branches
Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 09:45:57 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071110174557.GC1036@blorf.net> (raw)
I used to be able to create a branch that tracked master (or another
local branch) by using "git branch --track new-branch" from that
checked-out branch. However, this functionality was apparently
removed and now the --track option is silently ignored for local
branches. I'd love to have this functionality restored. Is there
a problem with local branches being supported when explicitly
requested?
