Well, I took the liberty of adjusting the first one in the series and tonight's "pu" has that one and the second one. I haven't touched the third one yet, though. About the second one, I think it probably is a good idea to rename the "refspec used for fetch" as Sean suggested earlier. I do not like that hidden environment variable that sits in the command I use everyday, waiting to be triggered to update my .config file, possibly by my PEBCAK mistake when I did not want it to do so. I am not quite sure what this bit is about in the second one: sed -n \ -e "s/^URL: /remote.$name.url . /p" \ -e "s/^Pull: /remote.$name.pull ^$ /p" \ -e "s/^Push: /remote.$name.push ^$ /p" \ < "$f" I am getting this out of the above: remote.ko.url . xxx.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/ remote.ko.pull ^$ master:refs/tags/ko-master remote.ko.pull ^$ next:refs/tags/ko-next remote.ko.pull ^$ +pu:refs/tags/ko-pu remote.ko.pull ^$ maint:refs/tags/ko-maint remote.ko.push ^$ heads/master remote.ko.push ^$ heads/next remote.ko.push ^$ +heads/pu remote.ko.push ^$ heads/maint but I suspect that is not what you intended... I think easy conversion tool is a good idea, but I would sleep better if it is outside of git-fetch/push chain and is available elsewhere, perhaps in contrib/ area. On a slightly related topic, I think my aversion to your "push remotes into config" series the last time was primarily because I do not trust repo-config. Reading an already built config seems to work OK and I do not worry too much, but I am still wary of letting it write. Typing "git repo-config" in a freshly initialized empty repository seems to segfault, which does not help my confidence level either. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
