Exactly.

Agreed, there's certainly something to expand on here.

Ouch. It seems to happen to me too often. I probably need to get the
shallow clones setup where you have different directories hosting each a
different git branch so that you don't need to checkout just to update
your local master, etc.

Sorry about that. I'm on a crazy schedule and too tired, and I wanted to
be sure to attract your attention on a misunderstanding here. It's also
not clear to me what level of language WTF really is, or “dude” to take
another example. I'll be sure not to use that again when I aim at being
polite yet dense.
