Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
I attempted to use fetch and push refspec to make an Azure DevOps repository (no forks) behave more like a GitHub contributor model (with forks). For example, the 'main' and 'rel/*' branches are considered upstream, and 'dev/user/branch' is the format used by each user for working branches. Here's an example configuration showing three remotes: 1) origin maps every local branch 'name' to remote branch 'dev/sharwell/name'; 2) devdiv does not rename branches but restricts the view to just main and rel/*; 3) partner maps local branch 'name' to 'dev/partner/name', representing the work done by username partner.
[remote "origin"] url = https://path/to/repo fetch = +refs/heads/dev/sharwell/*:refs/remotes/origin/* push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/dev/sharwell/* [remote "devdiv"] url = https://path/to/repo fetch = +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/devdiv/main fetch = +refs/heads/rel/*:refs/remotes/devdiv/rel/* [remote "partner"] url = https://path/to/repo fetch = +refs/heads/dev/partner/*:refs/remotes/partner/* push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/dev/partner/*
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
I expected get-for-each-ref to consider refspecs for newly-created local branches than are not pushed. For example, consider the following command:
git for-each-ref --format="%(push:track,nobracket)::%(upstream:track,nobracket)::%(push)::%(upstream)::%(refname:short)" refs/heads/newLocalBranch
I expected this to print out:
::::::::newLocalBranch
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
The command printed out:
gone::::refs/remotes/origin/newLocalBranch::::newLocalBranch
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
The command printed 'gone' instead of the empty string for '%(push:track,nobracket)'. The command printed 'refs/remotes/origin/newLocalBranch' instead of the empty string for '%(push)'.
