Thanks. You can also edit the file that describe your shorthand notation. If you normally do "git pull origin" just look into the ".git/remotes/origin" file, and I think you'll find it very obvious what it all does. (If you used a really old version of git to create the archive originally, it might be ".git/branches/origin" instead). Linus
