Hello,

1) git-fetch(1) (from maint) states:

       -q, --quiet
           Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally
           used programs.
	
   but git-fetch doesn't like -q.  (master has
   a858c006fae17cef44dd63737771f2bebb6eeae8, but maint only has
   42905294de0c1885f5636319c4790f184d767875)

Maybe more difficult:
2) rebase a merged tree:

   If I made a local commit and pulled from origin, I get:

	zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ git show
	commit 15386213004a20dfdf92c654c737795079202545
	Merge: 9d740f0... 9159afb...
	Author: Uwe Kleine-König <ukleinek@informatik.uni-freiburg.de>
	Date:   Sun May 6 14:49:59 2007 +0200

	    Merge branch 'master' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git

	zeisberg@cassiopeia:~/gsrc/git$ git rebase junio/master
	Current branch master is up to date.

   (where junio/master is the tracking branch for
   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git) but git-rebase(1) states:

	All changes made by commits in the current branch but that are
	not in <upstream> are saved to a temporary area. This is the
	same set of commits that would be shown by git log
	<upstream>..HEAD.

   and git-log junio/master..HEAD is not empty.

I didn't have the time to look into 2).  So I only report it for now.

Best regards
Uwe

After having thought about that one once more, here some more info:  The
two patches I had in master were merged in the meantime.  So it was
correct for git-rebase to state that master is up to date.  Rereading
the documentation I realize there is no bug.  I just missed that both
patches were already merged and format-patch generated a patch anyhow.

The first issue remains however.

Best regards
Uwe
