Yes, it can be cryptic. It would be nice that we discuss which is the best vocabulary to use so that it is clear both for people with or without a strong git background.

Iceberg does not have a "pull" operation, as it is intended from the git command line. Instead you have fetch and merge separately (remember: git pull = git fetch + git merge).

In this way, you first download all new versions from the remote repository, you can browse them, and then you can decide to:

a. Merge the remote changes into your local branch

b. Load any version, without merging (which in git is called "detached head").

I thought this way (more similar to current Pharo tools than to the git command line) is better for our needs, but I could be wrong. Or we could have both.��

Also, one tricky thing here is that "incomming changes" could be two different things:

- changes in the remote repository but not merged into your current branch.

- changes in your current branch but not loaded into the image

I am not sure how should be the best way to show that information.

Hi!

I have a question regarding the window:

Why if I want to retrieve the new versions, I need to press the button ��Fetch new versions��. I think I should do a pull ? But instead, i can do a load or a merge. A bit cryptic��

Cheers,
Alexandre
