> So I wanted to ask: Is there a way to update my branch from the HEAD > (and not merge)? Short answer is: No by design. To update from HEAD is to merge, that is the definition of it. Don't be concerned by committing code frequently. Personally I merge back and forth between HEAD and my dev branch all the time (merge in changes from dev to HEAD, stabilize in test, merge those stabilization updates back to dev). An alternative to that is to create a fresh branch after merging back to HEAD, but I prefer to have fewer branches in my repo. I think his question is related to that 'sliding branchpoint' discussion we had sometime back, where the person wants to automatically (or without having to merge/commit) have files that are unchanged from the branchpoint stay synched with HEAD. The flaw with that discussion--and the desire to keep a branch updated from HEAD without updating the entire sandbox--is that if you get several files updated as part of the same functional change of code and you only update a few of those, it will break your sandbox. Let us know if we didn't understand the intention of what you're trying to achieve. Regards, Glen Starrett
