[Bioc-devel] Confusion with how to maintain release/devel files on local computer.

Again, you need to be very precise here.

There is no branch releas_3_6.

I don't know what 'it' is -- I guess your local repository that you 
cloned, but where did you clone it from?

I don't know what you mean by 'created GMaster'
the cloned repository is a local directory, yes.
If you remove it, then any changes not 'pushed' to an online repository 
will be lost.

'upstream' would appear with

   git remote -v

if you had added an 'upstream' remote

   git remote add upstream git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/your-package

or if you had renamed an existing remote

   git rename origin upstream

'origin' and 'upstream' are just names; you can call remotes whatever 
you want.

It would be helpful to report as carefully as possible what your 
configure and commands are. For instance instead of your message, you 
could say

I can see two branches

$ git branch  -a
   RELEASE_3_6
* master

I have created a remote connecting to GitHub

$ git remote -v
origin	git at github.com:Bioconductor/your-package (fetch)
origin	git at github.com:Bioconductor/your-package (push)
upstream	git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/your-package (fetch)
upstream	git at git.bioconductor.org:packages/your-package (push)

and so on.
