I thought that you can tell recent versions of Git to pay attention to the remote.*.push patterns and use them as a refmap even when you are pushing a single branch? Here is a demonstration: $ (git init src && cd src && git commit --allow-empty -m foo) $ git clone src dst $ cd dst $ edit .git/config ; cat .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true [remote "origin"] url = ../src fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/dev/me/* # note that I edited out [branch "master"] section to show that # you do not even need per-branch configuration. $ git commit --allow-empty -m bar $ git push Counting objects: 1, done. Writing objects: 100% (1/1), 184 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) To ../src * [new branch] master -> dev/me/master For simplicity I used two local repositories and used a random pattern "refs/heads/dev/me/*", trusting that the readers are capable of updating the example to use remote URLs and different hierarchies as needed. -- 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
