Subject: [PATCH] Make "git request-pull" use the configured remote.REMOTE.uploadpack
Message-ID: <1248728563-23906-1-git-send-email-tgrennan@redback.com>

```
git-request-pull.sh should use git-parse-remote:get_uploadpack() to
load a configured remote.REMOTE.uploadpack like "git remote show" and
"git fetch". This allows one to specify the path of git-upload-pack on
the remote side.

Sorry, but I removed all unused functions from git-parse-remote in 62d955f
(parse-remote: remove unused functions, 2009-06-12), and it is in
v1.6.4-rc1. I don't think there is much problem reverting part of that commit,
but I wonder if the problem is that "git ls-remote" does not read the
remote.<remote>.uploadpack by itself as it reads the remote.<remote>.url.

Thanks for the hint.

Yes, "git ls-remote" is retrieving remote.<remote>.uploadpack when
dest is a configured remote.  However, git-request-pull runs ls-remote
after converting its URL argument from remote.<remote>.url

The following works with v1.6.4-rc3-12-gdf73af5

If you wish, I'll submit an alternative patch.

Thanks, both.

Subject: request-pull: allow ls-remote to notice remote.$nickname.uploadpack

The location to pull from should be converted from the configured nickname
to URL in the message, but ls-remote should be fed the nickname so that
the command uses remote.$nickname.* variables, most notably "uploadpack".
