My knee-jerk reaction is to avoid "--heads" and instead use
"--branches", if this is about pushing all local branches. The
option "--heads" may still remain in some commands added to the
system in the earliest part of our history, but soon we started
to use "branch" over "head", as it is a more commonly used word.
How should it interact with --follow-tags? Just as if you listed
all local branch names on the command line? I.e. is
git push $URL --heads
equivalent to the long-hand
git push $URL $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/heads/\*)
and because of that, does
git push $URL --any --other --option --heads
behave identically to the long-hand with these other options added?
