[ptp-dev] Switching branches switches other workspaces too

[Beth Tibbitts <tibbitts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My normal mode of operating is to use a separate workspace for each branch (ptp_5_0 and master)
Now it's even separate eclipse installations (Indigo and Juno, respectively) for each.
They are both using the same local repository, my copy of org.eclipse.ptp  (and photran)

If I switch branches in one workspace
    Project:  Team -> Switch To ->  I can choose between master and ptp_5_0  now.
But whatever I choose, it also switches my other workspace too.

What am I doing wrong, or is there a different model of working in git-land?

OK a question

My initial clone got both master and ptp_5_0 of course. but i was doing it in my ptp_5_0 workspace so i made the default branch 5.0
(I presume most folks would/should use master as the default branch.)

Now i used that clone to import into my 6.0 ws.   It gets ptp_5_0 w/o asking what i want.  That was the default, so that's OK.
Do I then switch to master like this?  
   Team - switch to - Other… and choose Remote Tracking > origin/master ?????

No. One should not use a remote tracking branch for working. It should only be used to viewing code/history.

You should switch by:
- Team->Switch To->New Branch
-  Source ref: refs/remotes/origin/master
- Branch Name: master
- (Make sure that Rebase is selected - it should be if you set autosetuprebase and that checkout is checked)
