Why are you imagining what users will expect with a git push -- master next; that hasn't been invented yet? From "matching"? But we've made it very clear that it's going to change soon. Users can still use the git push origin master next; form as usual. In my opinion, this new syntax is incredibly useful if users set pushremote properly. -- 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
