git checkout trac/develop # or whatever the name of develop is on your install git checkout -b new_branch git pull trac u/ncohen/whatever This creates an empty branch on develop, then merges the distant branch into it, i.e. above develop. Or you can do it in two times git fetch trac u/ncohen/whatever:local_branch_name <look at local_branch_name to see if it is already based on the latest beta> git checkout local_branch_name # if no merge is needed, i.e. the branch is up to date git checkout -b local_updated_branch; git merge local_branch_name # if the branch was too old Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
