But it doesn't seem there's a super simple solution (i.e., my > syntax was wrong in the config file) to using git for pull and ssh for push. We *should* be able to make the rules: fetch tries URLs until one works, and then ignores later ones; push uses, in turn, all URLs that support pushing. Then you could just list both URLs, with the "git:" one first, and it would do what you want (plus, if the git server on your remote machine were down, it would fall back to ssh automatically for you). Actually, I think this would be a relatively easy project now, if you want to attempt it, since fetch and push and both in C now and the config file parser in remote.h reports all URLs in the config file's order. You'd just need to make it silently skip URLs in push that don't support pushing, and only give an error if none remain. (And add fallback support to fetch, for completeness; it's currently only using the first, IIRC). -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* - 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
