The top patch of that series still relies on "upstream" being a push destination, though. So if I have a triangular workflow where I fork "topic" from "origin/master", my "git push origin topic" will go to "refs/heads/master" on "origin" under the "upstream" rule. So that seems broken as ever. :) But I guess what you are referring to is that in a triangular world, the second patch lets me do: git config push.default current git config remote.origin.push 'refs/heads/*:refs/review/*' And then "git push", "git push origin", or "git push origin topic" all put it in "review/topic", which is what I want. I think that is sensible, and only heightens my sense of the "upstream" push.default as useless. :) -Peff -- 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
