A potential concern with push keys would be Git users. If (and that's a big if) we ever set up a Git server that allows pushes, I don't believe Git supports a similar extensible model for attaching metadata to pushes (it does support metadata on commits). I believe your recourse in Git would be to push a specially-named ref and/or a special object (not a blob, tree, or commit) and derive special behavior from that. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
