Thanks! This is why I still use rsync, even though everybody and their mother tells me "Linus says rsync is deprecated."

Fact is, rsync is still the best to push a _bunch_ of branches, in the same tree, all in one command. In an attempt to get away from rsync, I even tried putting multiple git:// entries into .git/remotes/origin, then doing "git push" with no args, without success.

Each time I have a non-trivial libata update, I've updated twelve (12) branches, and think its highly silly to have to run

	url=git://git.kernel.org/...jgarzik/...
	git push $url $branch:$branch

twelve times.
