He's idea was to store the remote branch information in the StGIT metadata but I'd like to leave this for GIT to deal with. The StGIT UI can probably be modified to display something useful but I don't see a problem if it doesn't. > The other approach is to calculate the default remote in StGIT.

With the recent changes, StGIT shares the config files with GIT and it has direct access to git settings without the need to use git-repo-config. Just use "config.has_key" and "config.get_option". Maybe a combination of your two options - StGIT could try to get the default branch and, if there isn't any in the config files, just invoke git-pull without any argument (and display something like "pulling from default"). -- ``` ## Pavel Roskin, 2007-01-09 07:20 Subject: [PATCH] Check git pull remote before defaulting to 'origin' Message-ID: <1168327205.7890.2.camel@dv> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1168327205.7890.2.camel%40dv In-Reply-To: ``` Check git pull remote before defaulting to 'origin' Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin --- stgit/commands/pull.py | 10 ++++++++-- 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/stgit/commands/pull.py b/stgit/commands/pull.py index 227249e..7c5db22 100644 --- a/stgit/commands/pull.py +++ b/stgit/commands/pull.py @@ -50,10 +50,16 @@ def func(parser, options, args): if len(args) > 2: parser.error('incorrect number of arguments') - repository = 'origin' - refspec = None if len(args) >= 1: repository = args[0] + else: + section = 'branch "%s"' % git.get_head_file() + if config.has_option(section, 'remote'): + repository = config.get(section, 'remote') + else: + repository = 'origin' + + refspec = None if len(args) == 2: refspec = args[1] -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ``` ## Catalin Marinas, 2007-01-09 10:30 Subject: Re: [PATCH] Check git pull remote before defaulting to 'origin' Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/b0943d9e0701090230j3611784bw5c2db84576327bd1%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <1168327205.7890.2.camel@dv> ``` On 09/01/07, Pavel Roskin wrote: > Check git pull remote before defaulting to 'origin' Thanks.
