Yes, but that says nothing about whether they accept non-ff merge
pushes, or should reject them, and it says nothing about whether they
are intended to be seen as "published" in the sense of having stable
history.  (Teamware would mark repos as published when cloned, but
that often meant needing to reset that flag [it wasn't a flag, but i'm
eliding irrelevant details].)

Yes, non-fast-forward pushes can be rejected with a hook, but a flag
that could be set with a git command would be more convenient.

Git doesn't record this directly, but you can see which known remote
branches contain the tip of a branch:

git branch -a --contains yourbranchnamehere | grep remotes/

That doesn't say anything about remotes you don't know about of course.

Is there a way to mark a branch as published?

2014-07-29 Thread Nico Williams
(or all of a repo's branches)

Teamware recorded whether it had any "children" and warned about
rebasing published contents.  Perhaps git could do the same.
