Hi, > I may be being slow but I do not see the point of this patch. Agreed, it's not a bug that any end-user would normally bump into. I bumped into this myself when I assumed that the remote `foo` exists, and invoked `git-remote-http foo`. Since remote_get() transparently creates a remote when one does not exist, remote-curl doesn't know if the remote `foo` ever really exists. Going off to fetch a HTML page when an expected remote doesn't exist is really ugly, so I thought I'd prepare this patch. Plus, it doesn't hurt to make sure that the remote helper conforms to the documentation- useful when a developer is calling it independently. -- Ram -- 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
