so probably I managed to push origin master anyway because gitorious asked me for my ssh passphrase?

Thus, if I had

[remote "origin"]
         fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
         url = git@...
[branch "master"]
         remote = origin
         merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "experiments"]
         remote = origin
         merge = refs/heads/experiments

instead of

[remote "origin"]
         fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
         url = git://...
[branch "master"]
         remote = origin
         merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "experiments"]
         remote = origin
         merge = refs/heads/experiments

I would have been able to push also to branch experiments? Without having to add

[remote "experiments"]
         url = git@...
         fetch = 
+refs/heads/experiments:refs/remotes/experiments/experiments

thanks in advance
	Lorenzo
