Sometimes people are working on different sorts of information, that are nevertheless closely related, e.g. open source software and the web pages describing it (like in git hub), or a web server tree and the software generating it. They are related, but do not logically share a history. Creating independent branches by pushing two separates into a single remote bare is a nice idea, but if I understood git correctly, the very first commit in a repos is always to the master branch, where you have two masters trying to push into the shared remote bare. This is obviously solvable if you use the correct commands and maybe delete and re-clone the repos, but this is all overcomplicated and non-trivial. Nothing I could do without reading manuals. So your proposal might work perfectly, but in my eyes it is error prone and not user friendly. regards -- 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
