I'm a git newbie so I don't really know. I started by doing
"git clone git://repo.or.cz/vim_mainline.git" and then updated from time 
to time by "git pull". Git status shows the following:
den...@devbenzingerlinux:~/git_repos/vim_mainline$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 2 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
#
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#       modified:   runtime/doc/tags
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       install.log
#       make.log
#       myvim.version
#       vim.version
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

So I suppose I'm using the "master" branch.

Why is the tags file in the working tree updated and not just in the
target directory of the installation?

Isn't the "master" branch meant to include the latest runtime files?


Thanks for your explanations and the git repositories!
