.SH "NAME"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fIgit\-nav\-upstream\fR takes the current branch, finds it\*(Aqs upstream branch, and checks that out\&.

Switched to branch \*(Aqcool_feature\*(Aq
Your branch is ahead of \*(Aqorigin/master\*(Aq by 4 commits\&.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
\fB$ git map\-branches\fR

\fR    subfeature

\fB$ git nav\-upstream\fR
Note: checking out \*(Aqorigin/master\*(Aq\&.

You are in \*(Aqdetached HEAD\*(Aq state\&. You can look around, make experimental  \fB(1)\fR
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout\&.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using \-b with the checkout command again\&. Example:

  git checkout \-b <new\-branch\-name>

HEAD is now at beec6f4\&.\&.\&. Make ReflectorImpl use mailboxes
