Documentation/git-remote-helpers.txt could use a corresponding update --- Wait, now that I look there, wouldn't it be more consistent with what "push" does to make the semantics ... A batch sequence of one or more import commands is terminated with a blank line. ? In other words, what was the rationale for making push work like push +src1:dst1 push +src2:dst2 push +src3:dst3 [... command stream continues here ...] instead of push +src1:dst1 +src2:dst2 +src3:dst3 [... command stream continues ...] and does it apply for import, too? -- 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
