That's one of the reason it's not recommended to push into a non-bare repository. You should clone your repo-master with the --bare option to avoid having a work dir there. > To publish the outstanding changes its required to do this from the master > repo.

You could just add your remote repository as a remote to each of your clones of your master repo and push directly from them. It would be much simplier and it would allow you to directly fetch changes from your remote into your branches as well. (however, I'm not sure but I think, that this will slowly increase the difference between your repositories when you develop. So that they won't change any new data since to local clone was made). -- Med vänlig hälsning Fredrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iv...@iveqy.com -- 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
