My original question was about inconsistent user interface: "git push $there branch1" creates branch1 on the remote side (if it does not exist) but "git push $there branch1:branch2" gives an error if branch2 does not exist (branch1:refs/heads/branch2 is required). The case has become much more complicated since, so I just speak aloud my hope that need for refs/ paths in common situations would be reduced to minimum. -- 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
