There is no tracking, and branches are trivial - branches correspond to repositories. When you do cg-init , you get a branch origin which represents the remoterepo (and gets updated when you do cg-pull or cg-update), you can make Cogito know of more remote repositories by doing cg-branch-add. Yes, the README sucks; but apparently it helps at least some people. ;-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor
