I see the statement:
$ git checkout denzil-7.0 -b denzil
What I think this does is create me a local branch that is fixed to what was
committed when the denzil-7.0 tag was created and it will remain that way
and will not track the denzil branch as it gets updated. Right????
Now if I want to track the denzil branch as changes are committed, I think I
do the following.
$ git checkout origin/denzil -b denzil
Now I can do git pull commands to get the updates that are committed.
Right??
Your arguments are backwards. See git help checkout.
I looked at git help and man git, but it is still unclear because if I
do the first one where I checkout using the tag, I cannot git pull at
all; I get an error, about not enough information to merge. However, if
I use the name of the branch I can now do git pull when changes are
committed to denzil. That's why I thought I understood it. But who knows.
