The patch really helps when you already have synchronized, or when you haven't already desynchronized your local branch and its upstream. We could go one step further, and allow the new branch point to be different as long as it has the old point as an ancestor, but that would still be a ref update. > [*] Yes, I know you can edit .git/config, but I would want "official sounding" > (read: git remote subcommand) command to edit it (and no, delete & recreate > doesn't do the right thing). Having a "git remote subcommand" to do the same thing could help too, but it could just come in addition to my patch. My patch doesn't introduce new complexity: the command is already there, and the use-case I'm allowing are legitimate. So, it can help to let users run in, and it doesn't harm. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
