Subject: "git pull . &lt;branch&gt;" versus "git merge &lt;branch&gt;"
Date: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 - 5:51 pm

Good day.

The manpages seem to be making somewhat of a point of mentioning "git 
pull . <branch>" as the way to merge a local branch into the current one 
but a simple "git merge <branch>" seems to work well. Is there a difference?

Rene.
