Right, but accepting status.branch would not even solve that. Script writers should not assume that status.branch is set. So, the --branch is still required. Actually, that would even be worse, as a script writer who's used to status.branch being set would not even notice that --branch is missing. So, he'd still need it, but would have greater chance to miss it. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
