No sane user should actually need to use the local:remote syntax. The normal situation should be that you create the correctly named branch or tag locally, and then push it out under that name. So I don't actually think anybody should need to be retrained, or "always use the local:remote" syntax. The local:remote syntax exists only for that special insane case where you used (the same) local:remote syntax to push out a branch under a different name. [ And yeah, maybe that behavior is more common than I think, but even if it is, such behavior would always be among people who are *very* aware of the whole "local branch vs remote branch name is different" situation. ] Linus -- 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
