git doesn't fetch new changes

git version 1.7.11.4
3.5.3-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hello,

When I try and fetch changes from our remote repository I enter the password and then nothing happens, the prompt just returns. I have changes from the remote that I need to merge, but cannot fetch those changes. This is what I have done. 

git remote show origin
resource_division pushes to resource_division (local out of date)

When I try and fetch these changes I get nothing:

$ git fetch origin
[email protected]'s password: 
$

I have done the following to try and clean up:

git fsck
git clean -f
git gc

This used to work and now it has stopped.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Even easier, a git pull origin would fetch and merge your changes to your branch.

A git pull is a fetch and a merge combined.

git fetch only retrieves new revisions from the remote server, but does not apply them to your tree.

You have to do a git merge origin/resource_division to actually update your branch.
