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 -- Lorenzo Bettini, PhD in Computer Science, DI, Univ.
