[RFC PATCH] git push: Push nothing if no refspecs are given or configured

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously, git push [remote] with no arguments would behave like
"git push <remote> :" if no push refspecs were configured for the remote.
It may be too easy for novice users to write "git push" or
"git push origin" by accident, so git will now push nothing, and give an
error message in such cases.

Teach git push a new option "--matching" that keeps the old behavior of
pushing all matching branches when none are configured.
