For the specific case, it sounds like some kind of "git fetch --also-set-head" would do the trick for you. As you can see, I'm awful at naming command line options --- aside from the need to give it a better name, any others thoughts on that? Would you be interested in taking a stab at implementing it? For the more general case, there's been some discussion of fetching and pushing symrefs on-list before. [1] discusses one possible UI. [...] > The third solution has several problems.
