And if it's on the server, you don't want this to be observable, so you don't want HEAD to move around. I don't know a better way than: $ git clone --shared -b upstream-branch bare-repo.git /tmp/merge-repo $ cd /tmp/merge-repo $ git pull URL incoming-branch Cloning with --shared just writes a path into .git/objects/info/alternatives and it doesn't need to be on the same file system (unlike --local). Since 'git merge-tree' just works with trees, it has less information than 'git merge'. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
