Run this on my local linux tree, I got:
lgf2410-2.6.16.4 7af1fda - added a ignore rule in .gitignore
(*~)
* lgf2410-2.6.34.13 50d3f9d ax88796b verbose debug output
lgf2410-2.6.34.13-16C554 3ec82e0 more debug on 16C554
master 9489e9d [origin/master] Linux 3.7-rc7
Does this mean, I only have local branch master tracked to remote?
> git remote show origin
Running this I got,
...
linux-3.1.y tracked
linux-3.2.y tracked
linux-3.3.y tracked
linux-3.4.y tracked
linux-3.5.y tracked
linux-3.6.y tracked
linux-3.7.y new (next fetch will store in remotes/origin)
master tracked
Local branch configured for 'git pull':
master rebases onto remote master
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (local out of date)
I am curious to know how the last 4 lines were printed by git.
-----
Local branch configured for 'git pull':
master rebases onto remote master
-----
If I have addtional branch other than master that also track to some
remote branch, will it also be listed under this 'git pull' line?
----
Local ref configured for 'git push':
master pushes to master (local out of date)
---
This I totally don't understand, what it mean? I think I did not do a
modification on the local 'master'.
Thanks!

I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then.
