How can I find the location of origin/master in git, and how do I change it?

Question

I\'m a Git newbie. I recently moved a Rails project from Subversion to Git. I followed the tutorial here: http://www.simplisticcomplexity.com/2008/03/05/cleanly-migrate-yo

sometimes there's a difference between the local cached version of origin master (origin/master) and the true origin master.

If you run git remote update this will resynch origin master with origin/master
