From: Howard Miller Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:27:30 GMT Subject: Newbie / git / gitosis question Message-ID: <26ae428a0908260227k7ac6aeden9a4eae7ee95d4d45@mail.gmail.com> I've been working away at Gitosis and it's mostly fair enough but there's one bit that's unclear to me... git push origin master:refs/heads/master Would somebody kindly explain (or point to docs) what refs/heads/master means? How is this different from just 'git push origin master' or even 'git push origin master:master'? Any insights much appreciated.
