[PATCH] remotes.not-origin.tagopt

Junio C Hamano· Feb 15, 2007, 09:46 UTC · lore

With a configuration entry like this:

	[remote "alt-git"]
        	url = git://repo.or.cz/alt.git/git/
                fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/alt-git/*
                tagopt = --no-tags

you do not have to say "git pull --no-tags alt-git". Just saying "git pull alt-git" would suffice.

Obviously, if you want to get the tag from such an alternate remote in a separate namespace, you could also do something like:

	[remote "alt-git"]
        	url = git://repo.or.cz/alt.git/git/
                fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/alt-git/*
                fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/remote-tags/alt-git/*
                tagopt = --no-tags

How about going the full nine yards, and call it "fetchopt"? Then we would not check for the tag options, but instead parse $fetchopt _after_ "$@" in git-fetch.
