[git-users] Incremental Git Push

[jhops]

Hello all - 
I am new to Git and have only used it for a handful of files on a small 
personal project.  I'd like to explore using it further at my company.  We 
currently use Synergy, which everyone loves to hate, and which I personally 
am fed up from having to constantly babysit.  However, one unique feature 
of Synergy in its handling of distributed repositories is that it does 
incremental pushes that can be created as a file set between 
two repositories that are on totally separate networks.  This has been 
useful to us to sync hypothetical repository Main to hypothetical 
repository Spoke by literally burning change sets to a DVD nearly 
everyday. The nice thing about Synergy is that Main remembers the last 
time it created a change set for Spoke, and subsequently only sends 
deltas since the last changeset.

It seems that we could have a similar workflow using Git or other DVCS by 
simply burning the entire Master repository to DVD everyday and 
subsequently pushing to Spoke, however the people that actually do the 
DVD burning would get angry at us quickly.  Any ideas if it would be 
possible for Git to create a delta changeset that we could burn to DVD? 
 Seems like if I could setup a Staging Spoke on the same network as 
Main, and somehow record the push operations that happen from Main to 
Staging Spoke that might do the trick, but I have no idea if something 
like that is possible.

Thanks!

[git-users] Possible to update-ref remote repository?

[jhops]

Hello - 

Wondering if it's possible to do the equivalent of the update-ref command 
remotely.  Or I guess another way of putting it would be to git-push to a 
remote repository without necessarily needing a local clone of the repo.

Trying do something like:

git push   :refs/heads/mybranchtoupdate

where I know that  already exists on the remote.  I'd like to avoid 
the need to clone a local copy of the repo.  Wondering if there might be 
some plumbing command(s) that might accomplish this?

Regards,
Jesse
