Very similar bug there - it gives stats for HEAD and URI with no branch name. Might've been fixed in later versions (it's 2.1.4 here - debian-stable) FWIW, the main inconvenience with git request-pull is that it still needs s/gitolite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/git:\/\/git.kernel.org/ postprocessing. It mimics the git push, but the remote you are pushing to probably won't be usable for pulling by others. Looks like it would be useful to have something like pull_url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git to go with url = gitolite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git in .git/config, settable by something in git remote. OTOH, it's possible to emulate by setting an extra remote and using git push vfs <...> for pushes, while doing git request-pull origin vfs-pull <...> for pull requests... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
