[PATCH] pull --all: fix error message when current branch is not tracking remote branch

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

 



If current branch doesn't track remote branch, "git pull --all" produces
a confusing message:

  You asked to pull from the remote '--all', but did not specify
  a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote
  for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line.

To fix this, simply move up check if current branch is configured to track
remote branch.

This patch applies on top of branch 'next' of git.git repository.
