Subject: [PATCH 06/11] Change incorrect uses of "remote branch" meaning "remote-tracking"
Date: Sat, 30 Oct 2010 06:10:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1288411819-24462-7-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1287851481-27952-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>

"remote branch" is a branch hosted in a remote repository, while
"remote-tracking branch" is a copy of such branch, hosted locally.
The distinction is subtle when the copy is up-to-date, but rather
fundamental to understand what "git fetch" and "git push" do.

This patch should fix all incorrect usages in Documentation/ directory.
