Especially: if refs changing (during push) is atomic ? Thanks, Janek ``` ## Shawn O. Pearce, 2009-12-23 15:25 Subject: Re: Atomicity of git-push operation.

If you push 3 refs, and one of them updates during the push, the other two will push successfully, but the one that was updated will be rejected. -- Shawn. ```
