This commit changes the rules for resolving refspecs to match the rules for resolving refs in rev-parse. git-rev-parse uses clear rules to resolve a short ref to its full name, which are well documented. The rules for resolving refspecs documented in git-send-pack were less strict and harder to understand. This commit replaces them by the rules of git-rev-parse. The unified rules are easier to understand and better resolve ambiguous cases. You can now push from a repository containing several branches ending on the same short name. Note, this may break existing setups. For example, "master" will no longer resolve to "origin/master" even when there is no other "master" elsewhere.

NAME

----
|
|
git-send-pack - Push objects over git protocol to another repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-send-pack' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>] [--verbose] [--thin] [<host>:]<directory> [<ref>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Usually you would want to use gitlink:git-push[1] which is a
|
|
higher level wrapper of this command instead.
|
|
|
|
Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
|
|
updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
\--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
|
|
Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
|
|
end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
|
|
repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
|
|
a directory on the default $PATH.
|
|
|
|
\--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
|
|
Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
|
|
|
|
\--all::
|
|
Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
|
|
update all heads that locally exist.
|
|
|
|
\--dry-run::
|
|
Do everything except actually send the updates.
|
|
|
|
\--force::
|
|
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
|
|
is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
|
|
This flag disables the check. What this means is that
|
|
the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
|
|
care.
|
|
|
|
\--verbose::
|
|
Run verbosely.
|
|
|
|
\--thin::
|
|
Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
|
|
Use it on slower connection.
|
|
|
|
<host>::
|
|
A remote host to house the repository. When this
|
|
part is specified, 'git-receive-pack' is invoked via
|
|
ssh.
|
|
|
|
<directory>::
|
|
The repository to update.
|
|
|
|
<ref>...::
|
|
The remote refs to update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifying the Refs
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
|
|
remote end.
|
|
|
|
With '--all' flag, all refs that exist locally are transferred to
|
|
the remote side. You cannot specify any '<ref>' if you use
|
|
this flag.
|
|
|
|
Without '--all' and without any '<ref>', the heads that exist
|
|
both on the local side and on the remote side are updated.
|
|
|
|
When one or more '<ref>' are specified explicitly, it can be either a
|
|
single pattern, or a pair of such pattern separated by a colon
|
|
":" (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it). A
|
|
single pattern '<name>' is just a shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
|
|
|
|
Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
|
|
and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be
|
|
pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
|
|
side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
|
|
destination side. The rules used to match a ref are the same
|
|
rules used by gitlink:git-rev-parse[1] to resolve a symbolic ref
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
|
|
local refs.
|
|
|
|
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
|
|
|
|
- If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
|
|
|
|
* it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
|
|
destination literally in this case.
|
|
|
|
* <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
|
|
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
|
|
locally is used as the name of the destination.
|
|
|
|
Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
|
|
<dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
|
|
ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast forward check",
|
|
is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
|
|
remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
|
|
|
|
With '--force', the fast forward check is disabled for all refs.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
|
|
to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
