From: Nicolas Richard Date: Sat, 01 Jun 2013 11:04:40 GMT Subject: git fetch documentation Message-ID: <87sj12rt13.fsf@yahoo.fr> Hello, Regarding the git-fetch man page (IIUC, in pull-fetch-param.txt), in particular the explanation, I feel that two facts are missing: - A '*' can be used both in src and dest, and it matches any name, including subdirectories, but not partial names (i.e. refs/heads/foo* is invalid). - multiple fetch lines can be given in .git/config, each of them will be obeyed These are probably obvious for most users, but I think documenting them would be good for newcomers. (I tried to come up with a patch but I can't find a precise yet concise way to explain the role of '*' in english.) -- Nico.
