This discussion makes as much sense to me as debating whether "git fiddle" should, in case a simple "git hammer" does not apply, should translate to an implied "git screwdriver", and when it does, whether more people's workflows involve turning a screw left rather than right by default. What the gibbins? I don't even use git pull. I use git fetch, and then, depending on my needs, I rebase or merge. git pull is not part of my workflow exactly because it does non-connected things not translating unambiguously to a particular identifiable workflow. It might sometimes, more by accident than design, do what I would have done anyway. But I prefer making that choice on my own, depending on the particular circumstances. -- David Kastrup -- 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
