Subject: git push refspec problem
Message-ID: <7B37E361-9606-447C-B853-001182688AFA@nc.rr.com>

Hi,

I'm trying to set up my git configuration file in one of my projects  
so that I can do a simple "git push" to update my project on the git  
server.

Currently, I run the following command to push my updates (and it  
works just fine):

git push james@my.server.com:~/scm/git/project.git/

In my .git/config file, I've added a line for push, as follows:

[remote "origin"]
         url = git://my.server.com/project.git
         fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
         push = ssh://james@my.server.com/home/james/scm/git/ 
project.git/

When I run a "git push", it comes back with this error:

fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in ssh://james@my.server.com/home/james/scm/git/project.git/

I've looked at this git push documentation:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html

and it seems like my refspec is indeed correct.  (or so I thought ;))   
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
