[PATCH v3 1/1] Add another option for receive.denyCurrentBranch

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

 



When synchronizing between working directories, it can be handy to update
the current branch via 'push' rather than 'pull', e.g. when pushing a fix
from inside a VM, or when pushing a fix made on a user's machine (where
the developer is not at liberty to install an ssh daemon let alone know
the user's password).

The common workaround – pushing into a temporary branch and then merging
on the other machine – is no longer necessary with this patch.

The new option is:

'updateInstead':
	Update the working tree accordingly, but refuse to do so if there
	are any uncommitted changes.

+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
