That "local vs remote" is a wrong way to think about things. All refs you can feed to resolve_ref() and dwim_ref() are local, and "remotes" is not all that special. It is just a convention to store many different kind of things per different hierarchy, and the only special hierarchy we have is refs/heads/* that can be updated by making new commits through the index and the working tree. -- 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
