Like it or not, the UI of Git makes distinction between operations that are local and those that go to other repositories (e.g. "git pull"). That of course does _not_ prevent you from writing an alternative UI "got merge <anything>" that interprets <anthing> part and invokes "git merge" or "git pull" as its helper (after all, Git is designed to be scripted). -- 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
