Thanks! One more question. It appears that the problem that I am having is that people are comitting to origin and should be committing to master. Perhaps the names can be confusing. One suggestion made is that we give a branch on the remote server a more meaningful name.

If on my remote server I have:
  /data/git/kernel/mh.git

How do I add a branch to the remote repository that is visible to all team members. It seems like the git checkout -b commands just create local topic branches.

So I would have something like:

git clone git+ssh://git.example.com/data/git/kernel/mh.git kernel cd kernel git checkout Project git checkout -b fm-modulator edit/add/commit changes...

git checkout Project git pull . fm-modulator git push origin Project

So how do I create this Project branch on the remote repository such that it is visible to all? Do I log onto the remove server and do it manually? If so, how is that done?

Thanks!
Sean
