Ah, both the first line and the pattern match, and there's nothing at that stage to filter out duplicates. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2007-10-07 23:25 Subject: Re: git fetch -- double fetch Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.64.0710080022300.4174%40racer.site In-Reply-To: <20071007214433.GA30833@shadowen.org> ``` Hi, On Sun, 7 Oct 2007, Andy Whitcroft wrote: > On Sun, Oct 07, 2007 at 05:29:38PM +0100, Johannes Schindelin wrote: > > > On Sat, 6 Oct 2007, Andy Whitcroft wrote: > > > > > I have recently been seeing repeated fetching of some branches.

Actually, I am quite certain that git clone does not produce the first line; But I think that it was necessary to put in some line like that in older git, where the first ref was the one being merged by a pull. But as I suspected, and Daniel replied, too, your issue is that both lines match "master". You might want to delete the first line, and use "branch..remote" and "branch..merge" to force pull to merge "master" instead. In the long run, it might be a good idea to cull duplicates in git-fetch, but for the moment I have enough other stuff to do ;-) Ciao, Dscho ```
