This conclusion is way overstated. It looks to me that Neal was trying to get something done quickly based on previous experience with Fedora packaging tools and wasn't applying his full DVCS-fu, but he should speak for himself. > Git just has to do > everything in its own bizarre, confusing and broken way. :-( The only potentially confusing behavior was that git defaulted to pushing all branches. Given that, the push failed due to a concurrent change to a different branch on the destination, and it was necessary to switch to that branch in order to perform the merge (well, rebase, but the difference isn't important here). I see nothing arcane, exotic, bizarre, or broken about that. And I don't think I would change the default push behavior: I can envision forgetting to push a change to a non-current branch until someone complains about it. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
