The patch I saw does not appear to pass the rest of the command line to the system call, but perhaps I'm wrong and someone else can confirm. If the patch to do this is reasonable, I would expect the command: % git scp -rp . me@remotehost:/directory to expand to: % scp -rp . me@remotehost:/directory and if not, I think it should, just as when I have: [alias] pub = push /my/repo and: % git pub branch:branch expands to: % git push /my/repo branch:branch Bill - 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
