## Matthias Apitz (guru@unixarea.de):

> but when I now say 'git pull .' it says only:

Drop the ".", because:
1. the first non-option to "git pull" is the repository, so you're
   pulling from the current directory, which makes no sense for your
   case.
2. git updates the whole repository, which is a good thing[tm] (yes,
   there are ways and means, but in gereral one wants to keep a repo
   consistent).

Regards,
Christoph
