From: Shawn O. Pearce Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:25:25 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Correct documentation for git-push --mirror Message-ID: <20080621032525.GA10020@spearce.org> This option behaves more like: git push $url +refs/*:refs/* then it does like: git push $url +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/* so we should document it to be more clear about that.
