I had previously downloaded the git lib2geom repository using the command: git clone git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom
Now I saw that there was a recent commit yesterday, so I decided to update. I ran the command : git pull git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom and got the response:
From git://git.launchpad.net/lib2geom
* branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD Already up-to-date.
However, I know that my copy is not uptodate, despite what the message says. Any ideas as to how to do a pull?
Also, is there any way of knowing which rev my local repository is currently on? Something equivalent to 'bzr revno' or 'bzr version-info'? I have tried 'git log', but unfortunately it generates an infinite loop from which I cannot escape, so it is not very helpful. I have tried about a dozen varieties of the command 'git log <revision range>' but none of them work. The git help files, unfortunately, are no help because they do not contain any working examples.
Also, will I need to implement a SSH key to make changes? I previously did this for launchpad on Windows using Pageant and Putty, but am not sure how to apply that procedure to git, and also I lost my notes from that trial, which was in 2009.
any help would be appreciated. tia, Alvin
