This makes sense. But it is more the mechanics of what happens with
needing to update the "fetch" line for the remote in .git/config I am
more puzzled by.
For example, if I have two repos -- repoA and repoB, where repoA
contains the replace refs for repoB -- if I clone both repos with the
intent of wanting to look at the two histories, what must I do in
repoA to fetch the replace refs in the first place?
I've tried:
[remote "origin"]
fetch =
+refs/replace/*:+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*:refs/replace/*
But this results in:
% git pull
fatal: Invalid refspec
'+refs/replace/*:+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*:refs/replace/*'
So I'm clearly not understanding something here, and even then, I'm
assuming that I can manipulate the correct "fetch" line via "git
config", it's just that I'm not sure which one to use.
I keep meaning to read up on refspec stuff because it looks so useful.
Kindly,
David
