Create a remote in the clone of your fork that refers to the upstream Hibernate repo: * git remote add upstream git://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm.git fetch the 4.2 branch into your clone: * git fetch upstream 4.2:4.2 You can choose to push this to your fork or not. If so (assuming you left that remote named "origin"): * git push origin 4.2:4.2 Do your work... On 04/05/2013 08:23 AM, Demetz, Guenther wrote:
