I am setting up a git repository which I cloned using git svn. git
ls-remote shows something like:
...
refs/remotes/trunk
refs/remotes/2.0.2a
...
To get the subversion branch names to appear as a local branch, I:
git remote add blah http://example.com/blah
git fetch blah +refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*
I have made changes now that are okay to be in master in my local
repository and I want to push them to the remote repository. The current
branch is master.
git push
complains that push.default is not set. Now, I am confused by the
documentation.
push.default settings refer to either "the upstream branch" or a branch
with "the same name".
What is "the same name"? Are these the same name:
master
refs/remotes/origin/master
also, after the fetch above, are these the same name:
refs/heads/something
refs/remotes/something
Regarding the upstream branch, I have in .git/config
[remote "origin"]
url = http://example.com/blah
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
git config -l shows
branch.master.remote=origin
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
When in branch master, is the upstream branch refs/heads/master?
Then, I think I can get push to push to refs/remotes/origin/master by
setting push.default to upstream, is that right?
In case "master" is not the same name as "refs/remotes/origin/master",
can you give me an example of branches with the same name that push
would push to when push.default is set to simple?
