(There were some issues with the > test as well.) As I summarized in $gmane/135813 I don't think there was any objection against forbidding "git pull" with refspec with colon. There indeed was an interesting tangent topic that was about valid use cases of "git fetch" with such refspec, but I think this is orthogonal to that issue. -- 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
