The documentation may be quite sketchy on this front. I do not speak for Pasky, so Cogito may treat them a little differently, but at the core GIT level, you can treat branches and heads synonymously. What you have recorded in .git/refs/heads/frotz file is the SHA1 object name of the commit that is at the top of "frotz" branch. When your .git/HEAD symlink points at refs/heads/nitfol, your working tree is said to be on "nitfol" branch. You switch branches by using "git checkout". You can create a new branch using "git checkout -b newbranch commit-id". You examine which branch you are on by "readlink .git/HEAD". As you already found out, you can merge branches with "git resolve master other-branch 'comment'". The last one is briefly covered by the tutorial. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
