From: H. Peter Anvin Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:18:39 GMT Subject: Wishlist for branch management Message-ID: <4B662BEF.7040503@zytor.com> A wishlist for better handling of branches: git clone --branches ... git clone, with the additional step of setting up local branches for each one of the remote branches. git branch --current ... list the current branch name, for use in scripts. Equivalent to: "git branch | grep '^\*' | cut -c3-" git push --current ... push the current branch, and only the current branch... -hpa -- H.
