git fetch origin branch:branch
Often when changing branches you might do
git checkout branch git pull
Which is fine, but if your local 'branch' is way behind origin then this can result in a lot of filesystem thrashing
If you do
git fetch origin branch:branch git checkout branch
Then you will checkout in to a branch that has already been fast forwarded, avoiding all the thrashing.
