Oh, I never thought refs/remotes/%1/%* was a suggestion for a serious "improvement", but was merely a thought experiment "if all the remotes were at least two level names, we could express it like this to stress that fact". We already allow 'origin' to refer to refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, so it is clear refs/remotes/%1/%* alone will not be able to replace what we have; we need refs/remotes/%* and refs/remotes/%*/HEAD anyway. -- 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
