It is true that the proposal relies on people using git push and git pull, not some lower level approximation such as git fetch + git update-ref. Whether that's a valid assumption, I'm not sure yet. It does mean that there are GUI tools that will break the feature; e.g. SmartGit does use fetch + update-ref when you tell it to pull. In general, I'm not too concerned with my proposal not supporting certain edge-cases such as the one you described later in your mail. I think it's fine if you have to fall back to using --force-with-lease with explicit arguments in these cases. The suggestion is really only to make the common case easier, which (for me) is working with a tracking branch, and using push and pull with no arguments. -- Stefan Haller Berlin, Germany http://www.haller-berlin.de/
