Can I tell you what I'm doing, and check that it's not crazy... I have my laptop and my desktop computer; I use both for development. I've set them so that they are symmetric... laptop:.git/config [remote "desktop"] url = ssh://blah blah blah fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/desktop/* push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/* desktop:.git/config [remote "laptop"] url = ssh://blah blah blah fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/* push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/desktop/* This is very handy, as git-push on one does the same as git-fetch on the other. Have I made a glaring mistake by pushing to a remote ref?
