It's a rather cheap operation, actually, since git transfers only "objects", so every file in such a branch that is the same as a file somewhere in the already fetched history is not getting transferred. > Is there a way just to fetch staging, and is this sensible? I think you can have more than one fetch line, so you can just add something like fetch = +refs/heads/staging:refs/remotes/origin/staging to the lines that are already there. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
