I am below "novice" when it comes to git:

Warning: No merge candidate found because value of config option
        "branch.master.merge" does not match any remote branch fetched.
No changes.
..

Is that "normal" ?

Yes.


Is that even the correct command to update my entire local existing copy of Jeff's git tree?

No.

Generally I would use

        cd $repo
        git-checkout master     # if not already there
        git pull                # fetches new objects, updates 'master'
        git-fetch -f $URL upstream:upstream     # fetch updated branch
        git-fetch -f $URL mv-ncq:mv-ncq
        git-fetch -f $URL upstream-fixes:upstream-fixes
        git-fetch -f $URL upstream:upstream
        ... continue for each branch you like...

There is probably an easier way to get it to download all branches, even if they have been rebased.

        Jeff
