So your claim is that "git fetch central" is somehow more explicit than "git fetch central master"? I understand that "git fetch central" will use remote.central.fetch (which _is_ explicit), but the command itself is certainly _less_ explicit about specifying the remote branch. Either way, AFAICT it seems purely historical that "git fetch central master" doesn't update remotes/central. - Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
