Re: help with git

Hi,

thanks for your help, Jonas, I think I found the error, or better,
a way to fix that.

Well, I used only git for editing the config file, by calling git remote add.

What really solved the problem was NOT using git branch or so, but
	git fetch upstream-git master:upstream-dev
and that worked nicely. It creates a branch that tracks upstream's master
branch and the local is called upstream-dev.

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes

Norbert
