  Hello,
  just thought that I should drop a line here about it. I recently
changed the .git/HEAD to be a symlink, and old git pull could not cope
with that. So you would get a small error and no updates.
  So far I fixed it by just making it a hardlink in my tree for now;
don't do that at home though, since git update will happily trash your
branch information in that case.
  BTW, tomorrow will by my bugfix merging day (I will have a look
especially on Ingo Molnar's fixes), I will fix the bugs in git pull and
git update I mentioned in my night mail, and finally expand the docs;
sorry for the lack of activity on my side today. Then I will release 0.5
(getting 0.4 and doing git pull is not very smooth now), and after that
I will rewrite git merge to use Linus' merging stuff - can't wait to do
that. :-)
  I'd still like you to constructively complain about my current branch
model. ;-)
  Thanks,
--
