I submitted a trivial patch last night to make sure things were working ok.  They seem to be fine, but git keeps complaining "warning: refname 'trunk' is ambiguous" when I do things like git-update or git checkout trunk.  I think I followed the instructions on the Wiki, but I must not have.  Does anyone know what I did wrong or how to fix it?  Although things seem to be working I wonder if this is a symptom of a problem that will cause trouble later.

Mike,

Nothing to worry about. "Trunk" is indeed ambiguous (there's refs/trunk, refs/remotes/trunk, and refs/remotes/origin/trunk). Git whines, but then does the right thing, which is to checkout refs/trunk.
