And in another thread (we have too many threads for this subject ;-) I've tried to explain that branches and remotes are different concepts, which live in different namespaces and have different semantics, so rewriting branches to remotes is a bad idea anyway. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't.
