Try instead: > >GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project topic:refs/heads/master Ok, then when I clone this my master branch in my cloned repo will actually be pointing to the topic branch of the remote repo? [recreate dir, re-init, fetch as above, clone; now, cd into cloned repo] % cd project % git branch * master origin This makes me really nervous, like a nervousness-inducing cloaking device would. I'm not enough of a git master to just "use the force". When I go into my cloned repo, I want to see "topic" for my branch name, not master... BTW, I note also that the clone seems to have taken GOBS more time this time around. Am I seeing things or would this be a result of the fetch gymnastics above?
