I tried with 1.6.2.x. The -b issue with --track has been resolved in Git 1.6.1, http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/25/8 «* "git checkout --track origin/hack" used to be a syntax error. It now DWIMs to create a corresponding local branch "hack", i.e. acts as if you said "git checkout --track -b hack origin/hack".» Simos > Cheers, > > El ds 18 de 04 de 2009 a les 00:07 +0100, en/na Simos Xenitellis va > escriure: >> On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM, Jason D.
