I have tried making some changes, pushed it up to Github. From another computer, I fetched the changes. When I do a git status, it reports this:
On branch MyTestBranch
nothing to commit, working directory clean
This is strange because I'm certain that there were changes fetched. I even did a merge with those changes fetched!
But why weren't Git reporting something like my origin/MyTestBranch is how many commits ahead or whether my branch is up-to-date with origin/MyTestBranch?
