Hi,

On Tue, 2 Oct 2007, Carl Worth wrote:


Nothing to be sorry about.  It got me thinking.  People propose that "git 
push <nick> master:blub" should create the branch "refs/heads/blub" on the 
remote side.

My initial reaction was "then you have to be precise, because we do not 
know if you want to push it as a branch, or as a lightweight tag".

But then I stepped back a little: What is most likely meant when you say 
"master:blub" and there is no tag/branch of name "blub" on the remote 
side?  Exactly, you want a branch to be created.

_Except_ if you had a typo, such as "git push ko master:po" where you want 
to be warned that that ref is not present on the remote side.

So I am less opposed to making "master:blub" automatically create a branch 
"blub" if it does not exist yet.  But opposed nevertheless.

Ciao,
Dscho
