Pushing through those protocols is sorely in need of update (actually, I thought rsync was all but dead at this point). But http push is missing the update of tracking refs, the usual status output (it still has the "Maybe you are not up-to-date and need to pull first?" message that was removed from send-pack a year and a half ago), and who knows what other tweaks made to do_send_pack (which it appears to have been copy-and-pasted from in 2006) in the last few years. So either we don't care about http-push being consistent with send-pack, and it is OK to have this feature in one but not the other. Or we do, and we really need to clean up the current divergence. -Peff -- 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
