The push to master looks good, but the push to 1.8.x > does nothing: I had similar troubles when using a local branch name different from `branch_release-1-8': somehow, Git doesn't memorize the branch name mapping for push. The easy fix, of course, it to name local branches like remote branches---which is what I did, because I was lazy. The "real" fix involves `.git/config' magic (or `.git/remotes', or `.git/branches'), to tell Git about the name of the remote branch where it should push. git-push(1) mentions several possibilities, but I haven't tried them. Alternatively, "git-push origin 1.8.x:branch_release-1-8" should work, but I haven't tried either. Maybe you could tell us which trick works best? :-) BTW, regarding `.gitignore', it's possible to use glob patterns, like "*.x", "*.doc", "*.lo", etc. Thanks, Ludo'.
