Uh, no? It doesn't create a local branch but rather checks out a commit detached from any branch. At least that's what Git 1.8.3.2 does for me (and it did so as long as I remember). > If you'd like to give your local branch a specific name, you can run > 'git branch myname remotebranch', i.e. 'git branch foo origin/trololo' > will create a local branch 'foo' that will be tracking branch > 'trololo' from remote 'origin'. Sure. Again, this has been this way, like, forever. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
