Hello,

Is there a way to exclude some refspec from being processed by "git push"? What I'm looking for is a syntax like:

push some-remote 'refs/*' '!refs/meta/config'

, with the meaning of "push all refs except refs/meta/config". What I'm trying to do with this is to find out a generic way to mirror git repositories managed by the Gerrit tool (http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/), which since version 2.2 uses refs/meta/config branch to store repository-local configuration, so should not be mirrored between two Gerrit's.
