In addition, it would be great to have a command that did the same setup within an existing repository. And I would be most happy if the two commands for these two use cases shared as much syntax as possible, so I could publish one string and users could cut-and-paste it to either command as appropriate. One string I would have liked would have been "git://... ${branch}", but existing git-clone and git-fetch command syntax is not too amenable for that, (git-clone interprets an argument after the URL as the name of the local directory to create while git-fetch interprets the argument after the URL as a refspec). -Carl - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
