Strictly speaking that approach would not be different as the whole reason for such a branch to exist in this case would be to use its name in the git-push invocation; I referred to this using the "or another name" phrase. A tag would do as well, as E^ would, and so on according to the "gitrevisions" manual page. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
