Of course we do. If you change + prefix to "push but always require tracking ref in the opposite direction", you will break existing setup by (1) making it impossible to loosen the restriction per ref, and (2) forcing people to have reverse tracking ref. It is OK to introduce another prefix that mean a new thing. It is absolutely not OK to change the semantics of only one and not the other. -- 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
