Hi,
git fetch --all --append updates FETCH_HEAD. I'd like this command to update HEAD as well; is there any flag ?
I have a reason to do it; trying to implement multisite
A (master) -> B (readonly mirror) -> C (workspace)
if sitting in B; git fetch does't update HEAD

Re: Git Fetch / updating HEAD

You need to set up special refspecs in your B repo, so that git fetch updates refs/heads/* instead of refs/remotes/origin/*. When that is done, a simple 'git fetch' will update your branches (and HEAD as a result).
In short, you should create the B repo using 'git clone --mirror' (which will set up the correct refspecs for you)
