Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.3.6-1.1 Severity: normal [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-pull Already up-to-date. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-pull -t You asked me to pull without telling me which branch you want to merge with, and 'branch.master.merge' in your configuration file does not tell me either. Please name which branch you want to merge on the command line and try again (e.g. 'git pull <repository> <refspec>'). See git-pull(1) for details on the refspec. If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to configure the following variables in your configuration file: branch.master.remote = <nickname> branch.master.merge = <remote-ref> remote.<nickname>.url = <url> remote.<nickname>.fetch = <refspec> See git-config(1) for details. zsh: exit 1 git-pull -t
So my config for branch.master.merge doesn't tell it what to merge, eh? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-config --get branch.master.merge refs/heads/master [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>git-pull -t origin refs/heads/master Already up-to-date. If I can pull these values out of git-config, why can't git-pull? And why does it imply that it tried to use these values, and they weren't set? (And why is git-pull -t different than git-pull w/o -t?) When I looked at the code, I was suprised to find that it really doesn't look at branch.${curr_branch}.merge at all, despite saying it did in the error message. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-core depends on: ii cpio 2.9-6 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii libc6 2.7-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.17.1-1 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.11-2 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii liberror-perl 0.15-8 Perl module for error/exception ha ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii perl-modules 5.8.8-12 Core Perl modules ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-7 compression library - runtime Versions of packages git-core recommends: ii curl 7.17.1-1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii git-doc 1:1.5.3.6-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii less 409-1 Pager program similar to more ii openssh-client [ssh-client 1:4.6p1-6 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii rsync 2.6.9-5 fast remote file copy program (lik -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
