[Q] push refspec with wildcard pushes all matching branches

[Bert Wesarg <bert.wesarg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I'm a little confused, that a push refspec with a wildcard changes the number of branches pushed.

Here is what I see with Git 2.25:

    $ git --version
    git version 2.25.0
    $ git config --list
    user.email=bert.wesarg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    user.name=Bert Wesarg
    $ git init --bare bare.git
    $ git clone bare.git repo
    Cloning into 'repo'...
    warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
    done.
    $ cd repo
    $ git config push.default current
    $ echo foo >foo
    $ git add foo
    $ git commit -m foo
    [master (root-commit) 4d0b276] foo
     1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
     create mode 100644 foo
    $ git branch master-two
    $ git push --dry-run
    To ../bare.git
     * [new branch]      master -> master
    $ git config remote.origin.push 'refs/heads/master*:refs/remotes/origin/master*'
    $ git push --dry-run
    To ../bare.git
     * [new branch]      master -> origin/master
     * [new branch]      master-two -> origin/master-two

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks.

Best,
Bert
