It's like "I want to make my repository a copy of that remote repository" hence the name 'mirror'. It'll possibly overwrite local branches but in my way of thinking mirroring implies that possibility. The 'git remote' manual says that --mirror "only makes sense in bare repositories", so the manual seems to guide towards not having local working directory nor changes. -- 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
