cannot see git-fetch result in gitk
I'm still learning my way around git and trying to understand how it works. So after reading
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/rebase-from-internal-branch.txt
I wanted to try and understand the command sequence
git fetch origin
git rebase FETCH_HEAD
by looking at what it does with gitk. But after the first command I do not see any change at all in gitk. Only after the second one do the newly fetched objects appear in the gitk display.
Simple question: why?
Thanks,
Tilman

Did you run just "gitk"? By default gitk displays only current branch, while git-fetch changes remote-tracking branches only. Try "gitk --all", or "gitk origin/master ..." enumerating explicitely all remote branches.

Thanks, that explains it. It might be a good idea to mention that in the manpage.

Ok, thanks, will try that next time git-fetch actually finds something to fetch. ;-)
