By the way, I think we allow the name of the remote tracking branch as well, but we do not advertise it -- always using remote's name consistently is much less confusing. > The reasoning is that the remote's setup should only leak into > [remote] and no further.

No. Remote is not about mapping -- if mapping is there you can talk about it, but that is optional. - 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
