There definitely is a point: with the current behaviour you sometimes end up pushing more than what you meant, with sometimes WIP that you intend to rebase, and it hurts. Git porcelains should help you avoid to shoot yourself in the foot, hence I think that (especially to git newcomers), the current default _is_ dangerous. Though, OTOH, I believe that git push <remote> could keep the current behavior. I'm also okay with the fact that git push could be configurable in that regard. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@xxxxxxxxxx OOO http://www.madism.org
