Hi,

I just saw the scripts cg-update, cg-push .. scripts try to guess a branch name functioning as origin if no argument is given. These scripts seam to use a branch named <branchname>-origin if it exists and the current branch is named <branchname> and is not the branch named master.

I like that feature. Is it anywhere documented?

In case there is no branch named <branchname>-origin the scripts just use origin even if the current branch is not master. I would prefer the scripts to fail in this case and to print a message asking the user to specifically name a branch.

Cheers, Michael

Cogito is deprecated, and has been for quite some time. The "remote" feature of core git (inspired by cogito) offers similar benefits.

Such a pity.  We just got used to it.

True. But I'm not sure if it would be worth the effort. I don't mind using git directly. There are just some features which simplify things for me in cogito. E.g. in cogito in the simplest way you don't need to be aware of the index. While with git you have to remember to add the changes to the index explicitly to get them committed.

Cheers, Michael

"git commit -a ..." might be useful for you.
Other lingering cogito-isms you think are lacking in git?

Thanks for the hint. I have to use git for a while to understand what may still be lacking (at least for me, if at all). Off the top of my head one other difference is that if I do a cg-push the remote (or origin) head is updated automatically, I think.

Cheers, Michael

If you mean that tracking branches are updated on push, this is what git also does from some time (perhaps not in released version, so please wait or run 'master').
