Why doesn't 'git fetch' default to 'git fetch .' in those cases? Answer: because 'git fetch .' doesn't make any sense. So if 'branch.HEAD.remote' is '.' it doesn't make sense to do 'git fetch .'. > Seems a bit yuck overall; I wonder if > there's some other way to achieve what you want. Yeah, add 'branch.A.base' that would be used only by 'git rebase', which I already suggested before, but I changed my mind. Fixing 'git fetch' makes much more sense. -- Felipe Contreras -- 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
