Some confusing tutorials suggested that it would be a good idea to fetch into the current branch with something like this: git fetch origin master:master (or even worse: the same command line with "pull" instead of "fetch"). While it might make sense to store what you want to pull, it typically is plain wrong when the current branch is "master". This should only be allowed when (an incorrect) "git pull origin master:master" tries to work around by giving --update-head-ok to underlying "git fetch", and otherwise we should refuse it, but somewhere along the lines we lost that behavior. The check for the current branch is now _only_ performed in non-bare repositories, which is an improvement from the original behaviour. Some newer tests were depending on the broken behaviour of "git fetch" this patch fixes, and have been adjusted. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Acked-by: Shawn O.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
