Hello,
In response to professor Case, git clone gitosis.git.ambermd.org:amber.git
only clones the master branch (which is why I thought that was all that was
there, so I'm clearly a n00b in computer[gaming]speak)

I got this far... (quite impressive!)

Complained about no amber11 branch being present. I used the command
git checkout -t -b amber11 (tracking branch amber11)
but it's tracking the wrong branch:
Branch amber11 set up to track local branch master.
Switched to a new branch 'amber11'
so it's just tracking the master of my local repo, obviously not what I
wanted, so I went back and did
git checkout remotes/origin/amber11 and got
Note: moving to 'remotes/origin/amber11' which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at c1a01ff... Ross fix for large gb; this change is actually in
the Amber11.tar file, but not tagged as v_11. This commite fixes that, in
that the "amber11" branch will now contain it.
so I did
git checkout -b amber11
after that, and a "git status" showed
# On branch amber11
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
and "git log" showed Professor Case's latest commit regarding Ross's fix
(which is what I think I want? or do I have to track it?)
gitk shows that my local amber11 is in the same location as git.ambermd.org's
amber11, but will a "git fetch" get changes from ambermd.org's amber11? (git
pull complains of ambiguity). I've read up on (and experimented with) git
using small projects here in the group, but this is delving into more detail
than I've yet been exposed to.
Sorry for the splurge of my consciousness, the email evolved as I tried the
above-mentioned commands (reflecting my chaotic thought-patterns on the
matter). Useful tips/comments from the gurus are quite welcome.
Thanks!
Jason
