Here is the description of the problem in terms of Mercurial:

Given:

  • Two repos A and B, where B is a fork of A
  • The current directory is a working directory for the tip of A.

Needed:

  • Pull in B and update to its most recent head REV.

This is what I want to do in term of Mercurial:

A> hg pull B
A> hg heads         # Notice the most recent head of B
A> hg update **REV**

How can I do it in GIT? More concretely:

I know it should be trivial, still I cannot figure it out.

Anyone?
