So what is '--all' needed for then? It seems like the default should be to push just the current branch ... this would correspond to what a user of git pull expects (even though the converse of git-push is really git-fetch, for a new user, that might not be entirely clear). j. - 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
