Yes, in order to be clear, one should be explicit. But that was never in question here. The discussion revolved around the non-explicit refspec usage with git-push. And certainly there seems to have been attempts in the past to provide sensible short-hand usage for the command, but it would appear the accumulation lacks consistency. If the expectation is that one should always be explicit, then I assume the short-hand will begin to become deprecated? If not, then discussing it and improving it where possible seems rather acceptable. chris -- 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
