There is one little thing I had expected in addition, that is not discussed: --force should change behaviour, immediately, to "current" or even none (forcing the user to name the remote and branch explicitly). The potential for messups with --force combined with "matching" and a repo that allows it is considerable. And I cannot imagine any mainstream use cases for --force defaulting to matching; at least none important enough to counterbalance the damage. cheers, m --  martin.langhoff@gmail.com  martin@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC  - ask interesting questions  - don't get distracted with shiny stuff  - working code first  - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
