Something that I did many web searches is how to setup up tracking of a remote git branch for an existing local branch. That regularly happens for example if I start with a local topic branch, and then push it to the central repository. Now, git does neither automatically setup that this (new) remote branch should be tracked for the local branch nor did I find a convenient command or argument to do so. So here is what is required, assuming that the remote repository is named origin, the local branch is topicbr, and the remote branch is timn/topicbr, and you are in the local git repository:
git config branch.topicbr.remote origin git config branch.topicbr.merge refs/heads/timn/topicbr.
It's that easy and now I have a place to look it up next time I need it...

I'm currently attending the Aldebaran RoboCup Workshop. It has its interesting points but obviously there is a lot of old stuff for new teams. You can follow me on twitter for fresh info on the new version of the Nao.
Currently there is a talk about the Nao motion module. Besides that I'm setting up the OpenEmbedded tool chain, again.

Hallo Henning, ("ich bin") Volker. Hallo Holger. Nein Volker mit V. Das ist ja ein komischer Name, Volger, habe ich ja noch nie gehört, wo kommt der denn her.
