[PATCH] fetch: show remote name instead of URL if available

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

 



We often have a name such as 'origin' available; use it if so rather
than showing the raw URL.

The old output:

    $ git fetch -v
    From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git
     = [up to date]      html       -> origin/html
    ...

Versus the new output:

    $ ./git fetch -v
    From origin
     = [up to date]      html       -> origin/html
    ...

Alternatively, we could do something like
    From origin (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git)
but no other command seems to do such a thing. Note that a fetch with a direct
URL rather than a name will still show the URL as before.

Another RFC in this is the behavior of `git ls-remote`- it also shows a URL
when we may have a nice name available, so I can resubmit with that modified as
well if people agree with the change. The difference is porcelain vs plumbing.
