Ok, I got a bit confused there. :-) For fetches, it just sets up the refspec to point to main namespace instead of refs/remote/, of course it doesn't use the remote.*.mirror config. I'm not sure what Junio meant by the change being easy, seeing that push uses a technical trick in send-pack that doesn't seem to be straightforwardly applicable to fetch... but I don't know this part of code too well. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis A lot of people have my books on their bookshelves.
