Hello In the file Documentation/git-push.txt under the EXAMPLES section, specifically under `git push origin`::, remote.origin.merge configuration variable is said to configure the upstream branch for the origin remote, when in fact it should be branch.<name>.merge, where <name> is the name of the local branch at which HEAD is currently pointing to. Here's en excerpt:`git push origin`:: Without additional configuration, pushes the current branch to the configured upstream (`remote.origin.merge` configuration variable) if it has the same name as the current branch, and errors out without pushing otherwise.I'm still learning Git so I thought I would share this with you (I got confused reading the examples). Maybe I'll learn something new or/and correct the aforementioned error.
You are completely right, that example seems to use an old and now non-existent (at least, undocumented in git-config(1) [1]) configuration variable. I encourage you to fix it yourself and submit a patch :) See [2] for a nice tutorial on how to do this if you are interested. Cheers, Philippe.
