I think of it as "you are mirroring these specific refs to your repository" instead of "you are fetching these specific refs into remote tracking branches". But it is somewhat a matter of semantics. I agree that allowing generalized refspecs via "-t" is a nicer solution in the long run. I am mostly trying to fix a regression in 13fc2c1 here; I guess the question is whether it is one worth fixing, or if people who want to do this in the meantime should just use "git config". -Peff -- 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
