[PATCH v4] builtin-push: add --delete as syntactic sugar for :foo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Refspecs without a source side have been reported as confusing by many.
As an alternative, this adds support for commands like:

    git push origin --delete somebranch
    git push origin --delete tag sometag

Specifically, --delete will prepend a colon to all colon-less refspecs
given on the command line, and will refuse to accept refspecs with
colons to prevent undue confusion.
