It is not "the question"; it is irrelevant because $GIT_DIR/remotes/origin and [remote "origin"] are pretty much interchangeable, and will hopefully continue to be. [remote "origin"] url = master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/ fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* would be the way to express the equilvalent of the example in the previous message. - 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
