Hi all,

If I do
git clone darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/ghc.git
cd ghc
git show origin
then the output is
[...]

master merges with remote master
[...]

However, none of:
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/ghc.git
git remote show origin

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/ghc.git -m master
git remote show origin

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/ghc.git -t master
git remote show origin

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin darcs.haskell.org:/srv/darcs/ghc.git -t master -m master
git remote show origin
have the "Local branch configured for 'git pull':" section.

So having done "git remote rm origin", how do I configure the git pull
branches again?

I'm not 100% sure I've understood the question, but I'll try to help anyway...

I believe the easiest solution is to use the -u flag when doing an explicit push. For example:

git push -u origin master

The manpage says:

-u, --set-upstream

For every branch that is up to date or successfully pushed, add upstream (tracking) reference, used by argument-less git-pull(1) and other commands. For more information, see branch.<name>.merge in git-config(1).

I hope that helps,
