[PATCH 3/6] push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflows

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

 



From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@xxxxxxxxx>

When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set (a triangular
workflow feature), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set to
`upstream` or `simple`:

  $ git push
  fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of
  your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
  to update which remote branch.

The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for
use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new
meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as usual.

However, the `simple` does not have this problem: it is poised to be
the default for Git 2.0, and we would definitely like it to do
something sensible in triangular workflows.

Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as
before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow.

An earlier round of this change by mistake broke the safety for
"simple" mode we have had since day 1 of that mode to make sure that
the branch in the repository we update is set to be the one we fetch
and integrate with, but it has been fixed.
