[RFC/PATCH 0/3] New kind of upstream branch: downstream branch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

After thinking a bit more about, I think the current 'upstream' branch serves
most of the purposes; actually tracks an upstream branch; makes sense to rebase
onto that, makes sense to fetch from that remote, merge, and pull.

The only job it doesn't make sense to use the 'upstream' branch for is to push,
so here's a new notion of 'downstream' branch.

These patches are only exploratory, 'git branch -v' doesn't show these
branches, there's no @{downstream}, no documentation, and there isn't even a
way to set it.

If there's no downstream branch configured, nothing changes.

Felipe Contreras (3):
  remote: don't override default if cur head remote is '.'
  pull: trivial cleanups
  push: add separate 'downstream' branch
