While we're discussing possible errors on that page ... at the bottom of
the page under the "multiple workdirs" alternative are these recipes for
re-syncing your local checkouts:
git checkout REL9_0_STABLEgit pull
git checkout mastergit reset --hard origin/master

Are the git checkout steps really needed, considering each workdir would
normally be on its target branch all the time?  If so, what are they
accomplishing exactly?  I don't think I've entirely internalized what
that command does.
        regards, tom lane
