Why all of a sudden when trying to fetch > it from a remote repo must a user know about "refs/heads"? You can always say "git log refs/heads/next" even though you are allowed to say "git log next". Maybe we should remove that shorthand to make it consistent? I think not. The remote side can add things without your knowing, so insisting on the exact match makes sense in a weird sort of way. And this is a config file you would set once and then can forget about it. I do not see a big deal about having to spell it fully. - 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
