Get back to the alias topic. I also agree with other people's opinion in that thread. IOW, I support the decision to not accept those default alias ;) It's not required to be different people to have alias defined to different command. I have alias conditionally defined to different command based on git-dir. For example, I had ci alias to "commit" by default, and "commit -s" on other repositories. So, Git decides alias for me will not only break my current alias, but also break my conditional alias. Anyway, remotes/branches are all configuration values. Would you prefer: git remote add a-remote git://some/repository.git git fetch a-remote a-branch && git merge FETCH_HEAD or git fetch git://some/repository.git a-branch && git merge FETCH_HEAD I guess it's another exception, then ;) > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/1379791221-29925-1-git-send-email-felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx/ -- Danh
