Amos Waterland sent in a patch for the pre-multi-head aware version of "git pull" to do this, but the code changed quite a bit since then. If there is no argument given to pull from, and if "origin" makes sense, default to fetch/pull from "origin" instead of barfing.
[jc: besides, the patch by Amos broke the non-default case where explicit refspecs are specified, and did not make sure we know what "origin" means before defaulting to it.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- git-fetch-script | 5 ++++- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) 6d8fcdbf772f4fc4ec7ae67630b52bc8a07d7b6d diff --git a/git-fetch-script b/git-fetch-script --- a/git-fetch-script +++ b/git-fetch-script @@ -8,7 +8,10 @@ _x40="$_x40$_x40$_x40$_x40$_x40$_x40$_x4 append= case "$#" in 0) - die "Where do you want to fetch from?" ;; + test -f "$GIT_DIR/branches/origin" || + test -f "$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin" || + die "Where do you want to fetch from?" + set origin ;; *) case "$1" in -a|--a|--ap|--app|--appe|--appen|--append) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
