For this specific bundle: $ git bundle list-heads ~/Downloads/freetype2-remove-macro-includes.bundle 2ebe58073a90538b64170fc274dc5530032726d8 refs/heads/remove-macro-includes So you could then try: $ git fetch ~/Downloads/freetype2-remove-macro-includes.bundle remove-macro-includes >From /home/david/Downloads/freetype2-remove-macro-includes.bundle * branch remove-macro-includes -> FETCH_HEAD Note that the fetch only creates FETCH_HEAD (which will be overwritten on a future fetch), so you don't have a label defined in your repository. You can create a branch from it easily with: $ git branch remove-macro-includes FETCH_HEAD Hope this helps. Let me know if you prefer a different format. I can probably attach patch files generated with "git format-patch" as well, but bundles are far more convenient and safe. - David PS: To create a bundle that includes all patches from origin/master to a local branch, use: $ git bundle create /path/to/new/bundle origin/master..my_branch This creates a head named "my_branch" in the bundle. > Werner >
