From: J Wyman <jwy...@microsoft.com>
There are times when scripts want to know not only the name of the
push branch on the remote, but also the name of the branch as known
by the remote repository.
A useful example of this is with the push command where
`branch.<name>.merge` is useful as the <to> value. Example:
$ git push <remote> <from>:<to>
This patch offers the new suffix :merge for the push atom, allowing to
show exactly that. Example:
$ cat .git/config
...
[remote "origin"]
url = https://where.do.we.come/from
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "develop/with/topics"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/develop/with/topics
...
$ git for-each-ref \
--format='%(push) %(push:remote-ref)' \
refs/heads
refs/remotes/origin/master refs/heads/master
refs/remotes/origin/develop/with/topics refs/heads/develop/with/topics
