Exactly, you want a branch to be created. It's not that "exactly" for me. If your push were "next~27^2:frotz", it becomes even less clear. It may be that I am pushing out the tip of a topic branch I usually do not push out, so it would be easier for some specific person to build on top of. Or maybe I am marking that place as a lightweight tag. They are equally likely. On the other hand, what the user wants to do with "git push $elsewhere frob" is reasonably clear. If frob is locally a branch, then the branch is pushed out. If frob is a tag, the tag is propagated. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
