Hi,

It seems I hit a deprecated help message:

% git pull There is no tracking information for the current branch. Please specify which branch you want to merge with. See git-pull(1) for details

    git pull <remote> <branch>

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

    git branch --set-upstream nsiv2 origin/<branch>

% git branch --set-upstream nsiv2 origin/nsiv2 The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to Branch nsiv2 set up to track remote branch nsiv2 from origin.

Jeroen.

[PATCH] push/pull: adjust missing upstream help text to changed interface

In case of a missing upstream, the git-parse-remote script suggests:

If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:

    git branch --set-upstream nsiv2 origin/<branch>

But --set-upstream is deprectated. Change the suggestion to:

    git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> nsiv2

It is called tying loose ends, and is very important. Very much appreciated.

;)

By the way: The gotcha with the signed-off-by after the note is due to my old format-patch-notes being tripped up by the recent restructuring; your version in next get's it right. I've dumped my old branch, and I hope the maintainer in chief will shuffle around the s-o-b where it belongs.
