Hi all, I often like to change the name of the remote that I clone repositories from, as "origin" is too generic for me when I have more than one remote. Usually, I only remember after I clone, and wind up doing `git remote rename origin foo`. I'd like to get in the habit of instead doing `git clone -o foo https://link.to/foo.git`. However, when I tried doing this with --bare, I got the error that I've made the subject of this email. Why can't I do this? When I try to do `git remote rename origin foo` in the bare repository (cloned without -o foo), I get a different error: >fatal: could not unset 'remote.foo.fetch' However, `git config remote.foo.fetch` indicates that this value is not set. Why does this behavior differ from the equivalent commands on a non-bare repository? -- John
