I think the problem is we start pushing too much on the porcelain front and forget about plumbing. "git push" is for human, but I don't think there's an equivalent for scripts. "git branch --list" vs "git for-each-ref" is a good example. -- Duy -- 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
