This stops enumerating the set of branches found on the remote side when a clone was made in the configuration file. Instead, a single entry that maps each remote branch to the local tracking branch for the remote under the same name is created. Doing it this way not only shortens the configuration file, but automatically adjusts to a new branch added on the remote side after the clone is made. Unfortunately this cannot be done for the traditional layout, where we always need to special case the 'master' to 'origin' mapping within the local branch namespace. But that is Ok; it will be going away before v1.5.0. We could also lose the "primary branch" mapping at the beginning, but that has to wait until we implement the "forbid 'git pull' when we do not have branch.$current.merge for the current branch" policy we earlier discussed. That should also be in v1.5.0 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> --- Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> writes: > Things that need to be done to complete what have been merged to > 'master' are: > ... > - 'git-clone' probably should be updated to use wild-card in > remote.origin.fetch, instead of listing all the branches it > found when the clone was made. git-clone.sh | 47 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-clone.sh b/git-clone.sh index 1f5d07a..422499a 100755 --- a/git-clone.sh +++ b/git-clone.sh @@ -366,41 +366,54 @@ then ) ) - # Write out remotes/$origin file, and update our "$head_points_at". + # Write out remote.$origin config, and update our "$head_points_at". case "$head_points_at" in ?*) - mkdir -p "$GIT_DIR/remotes" && + # Local default branch git-symbolic-ref HEAD "refs/heads/$head_points_at" && + + # Tracking branch for the primary branch at the remote. case "$use_separate_remote" in t) origin_track="$remote_top/$head_points_at" git-update-ref HEAD "$head_sha1" ;; *) origin_track="$remote_top/$origin" git-update-ref "refs/heads/$origin" "$head_sha1" ;; esac && + + # Upstream URL and the primary branch tracking git-repo-config remote."$origin".url "$repo" && git-repo-config remote."$origin".fetch \ "refs/heads/$head_points_at:$origin_track" && - (cd "$GIT_DIR/$remote_top" && find . -type f -print) | - while read dotslref - do - name=`expr "$dotslref" : './\(.*\)'` - if test "z$head_points_at" = "z$name" - then - continue - fi - if test "$use_separate_remote" = '' && - test "z$origin" = "z$name" - then - continue - fi - git-repo-config remote."$origin".fetch "refs/heads/${name}:$remote_top/${name}" '^$' - done && + + # Set up the mappings to track the remaining branches. + case "$use_separate_remote" in + t) + git-repo-config remote."$origin".fetch \ + "refs/heads/*:$remote_top/*" '^$' + ;; + *) + (cd "$GIT_DIR/$remote_top" && find . -type f -print) | + while read dotslref + do + name=`expr "$dotslref" : './\(.*\)'` + if test "z$head_points_at" = "z$name" || + test "z$origin" = "z$name" + then + continue + fi + git-repo-config remote."$origin".fetch \ + "refs/heads/${name}:$remote_top/${name}" '^$' + done + ;; + esac && + case "$use_separate_remote" in t) rm -f "refs/remotes/$origin/HEAD" git-symbolic-ref "refs/remotes/$origin/HEAD" \ "refs/remotes/$origin/$head_points_at" esac && + git-repo-config branch."$head_points_at".remote "$origin" && git-repo-config branch."$head_points_at".merge "refs/heads/$head_points_at" esac - 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
