Re: Tracking a remote branch in git

Then I created a branch in the repository on the removable drive W and

I mean, I am able to track the master branch from the remote repository.
Why can't I track some other branch as well? Any ideas what I'm doing
wrong?

Have you tried doing 'git fetch'? That should get and track all new remote
branches automatically.

Once you have a remote branch, if you've deleted the local branch, you can
just do 'git branch LOCAL REMOTE', and that should set up a tracking branch.

If this doesn't work for you, check your git version with 'git --version'.
It works for v1.6.5.2.

Good luck,
Tim.
