Pieter, thanks for your advice.
I am never using the push command here.
Box A has branches master and blah.
On Box B I just want to pull branch master.
When I try to do that on box B I get the master branch from box A but I
get the changes made to branch blah on box A.
I do not understand why, on box B, the master branch is showing changes
made to the blah branch on box A. (Yet on box A the changes to the blah
branch are not shown in the master)
Apologies for my babbling.
Adam
