These aren't branches I commit regularly to, but I'd rather avoid the detached head state when using 'origin/'. Auto fast-forwarding on switch would be good enough for me.

I do care, I just won't be committing there 99% of the time. Your idea is interesting, didn't know that's useful. Detached head is a bit annoying though.

It would be nice to have a way to auto-fastforward other branches when pulling and you have no commits in those branches (There are scripts for that, but it should be in git). Another nice thing would be a way to exclude file specs in git d

Because the waste issue became a problem for every new commercial project, and well, waste is rather unfortunate by itself. Reprocessing remained in France and UK, so it mustn't have been that uneconomical - I guess that the investment

This is perfectly true, but as you say a small effect. Even in countries like Cyprus and Israel where nearly every home has a solar water heater and the climate is very conductive it saves something like 1-3% of electricity consumption I re

I don't believe blaming 1970s-1980s Presidents for this is reasonable. China was economically tiny, and the alliance was conductive for the Cold War. The error was not pivoting later and going for the 'economic engagement will lea
