Imagine my surprise when I saw that that is what you just said would be no good: [...] >>> `git pull`. >>> -* `tracking` - deprecated synonym for `upstream`. >>> * `current` - push the current branch to a branch of the same name. I really do think that including `tracking` in the same list would be valuable. When I look over a friend's .gitconfig file to help track down a problem she is running into, it is helpful if I can find the meaning of each item in a straightforward way. Is the problem that "deprecated" is not precise enough? For example, would it make sense to say "deprecated synonym for `upstream`. Will be dropped in git 2.1" or something like that? My two cents, Jonathan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
