Let me play somebody who comes later and wonders about this exchange three months down the road... You mention three refs/ here. Do they live in the same repository? Any Git person is expected to know refs/heads/master, which is "my local branch I have worked on and I am pushing". It also is easy to guess what "refs/remotes/origin/master" is, even though we are not talking about a usual Git remote. It is to keep track of the remote behind the helper we are pushing into, and is updated to pretend as if we fetched immediately from the place we just pushed. The latter being in sync with what we pushed is something that can naturally be expected. Now, what is this third "refs/testgit/origin/master" thing? Is it expected to always be the same as "refs/remotes/origin/master"? If that is the case, why do we even need such a redundant information in the first place? -- 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
