   Hi.
   I typed in "git BRANCH" by accident and got the error message: 
"fatal: cannot handle BRANCH internally".
   What does that mean?
   It is different from the usual "git: 'yada-yada' is not a 
git-command. See 'git --help'." message you get when you type in an 
incorrect command name.
   Just curious...
   Best regards,
     Jurko Gospodnetić
