I try to be careful, and I think I missed the branch-name just once (and noticed it when the diffstat didn't match), but this is something I want to teach every git user to know very intimately: make it impossible to make mistakes, by always keeping the whole git information together, and never mixed up with any free-flowing explanation. Pulled. Thanks, Linus
