We walk the commit graph backwards to discover the common ancestries to minimize the network cost when fetching, but I do not think the reverse direction has such smart in the protocol. If you fetch (not "pull") first to remote tracking branches and then push, that probably will reduce the transfer, as the side that pushes is the only one that decides what objects are sent in "git push -> git receive-pack" direction. -- 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
