Subject: git pull merges current branch even when <dst> is specified
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:47:32 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1245862052581-3149948.post@n2.nabble.com> (raw)
If I am in 'master' and 'bugfix' is a remote branch in 'repo' which I do not
have locally yet, running:
git pull repo bugfix:bugfix
creates a new local branch 'bugfix' equals to 'repo/bugfix' as expected.
However, it also merges 'bugfix' into 'master', that surprises me since I
explicitly specify that <dst> is 'bugfix'.
I know that I can get what I want by running:
git fetch repo bugfix:bugfix
But the git-pull behavior looks odd to me. I thought that <dst> was the
current branch by default and it could be overridden by specifying it in the
command line.
Thank you,
Tom
