Subject: FETCH_HEAD question
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 23:43:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <76718490902162043k78e615b5g7ba4b7ac95e73b18@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I did this the other day out of mild curiosity:
$ git fetch
$ git merge FETCH_HEAD
Which did something, but not something that was at all useful. It
merges in the first ref listed in FETCH_HEAD. It does not appear to be
an accident that it does this, as git merge has special treatment for
FETCH_HEAD to generate the merge message.
Why does this behavior exist? Historical?
