Hi!
I want to use git in a "star" configuration.
I have  "repository" and 2 client "home" and "work"
I cloned repository on home and work, then I created a branch at work,
and pushed it to repository, at home I "git branch --track
origin/newbranch" and done some work... all ok there... then I pushed
again to repository
come back at work I wanted just to do a git pull.... and there it says
me that it don't have any tracking information... so I add to add by
hand the following lines into .git/config :
[branch "newbranch"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/newbranch

and now it's working.... I think there shall be a way like "git push --track newbranch origin" so it store tracking information thanks and regards JLM

Yeah, this is on my todo list, but it is pretty low. There is a little bit of cleanup that probably needs to happen first to unify http:// and git:// push (Daniel did some of that recently, but I haven't had time to look carefully at his work).

If you wanted to work on it, I would be happy to help guide you. Otherwise, I may get to it eventually.

Hi, thanks for the reply, since I never looked into git code yet, I think I need first to get familiar with it... I will look at it, and if I come to have a solution I'll send it as a patch to the list, but since it might take time for me to go into git's code if you find time to do it please notice me ;) thanks JLM

There is a chapter in the user's manual which could help you:
