Correct. It only takes the LHS of the refspecs, following the "one tool does one specific thing" philosophy. The arrangement was that the calling script interpreted refspecs, split them into LHS and RHS, fed the LHS of the refspecs to fetch-pack, and then read the output to learn which local refs (i.e. RHS of the refspecs) to update with what value. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
