I'm new to topgit and to git so maybe there is something i've  
misunderstood:

on the git side:
the + will overwrite all remote location branche named with that  
pattern ?

on topgit:
i'm just doing patches on two computer (home+work) and i'm pushing on  
a central repo to "backup/share my changes"
if i'm not up to date and i start a push with the "+" will overwrite  
the central repo with my local branch. (overwrite of my central repo  
master branch and my topics)

to "solve"  my problem i've replaced  the remote section with this:
[remote "origin"]
     url = ssh://git@xxx.com
     fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
     fetch = refs/top-bases/*:refs/remotes/origin/top-bases/*
     push = refs/top-bases/*:refs/top-bases/*
     push = refs/heads/topic/*:refs/heads/topic/*

is it more clear?
