The goal is to not put your changes and the upstream\ncommits in the same pack. You could also push _just_ the upstream\ncommits first, then in a different push, send your local changes. But\nwhen they get pushed together, they all end up in the same pack.\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"59611","messageId":"20071113042017.GB9745@sigill.intra.peff.net","threadId":"10828","inReplyTo":"9e4733910711120921q651208cby1276426ccd4b5fa4@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Cloning from kernel.org, then switching to another repo","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2007-11-13T04:20:17Z","receivedAt":"2007-11-13T04:20:17Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Mon, Nov 12, 2007 at 12:21:20PM -0500, Jon Smirl wrote:\n\n> Running git update-server-info at the remote end fixed it.\n> \n> I am using 'git push' to send changes, I though that was supposed to\n> update the server info automatically.\n\nIt is typically triggered by the post-update hook.
