What this means is that + the remote repository can lose commits; use it with + care. + +--verbose:: + Report the list of objects being walked locally and the + list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository. + +<ref>...: + The remote refs to update. + + +Specifying the Refs +------------------- + +A '<ref>' specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair +of such patterns 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. + + - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the + local 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. + + +Author +------ +Written by Nick Hengeveld <nickh@reactrix.com> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Nick Hengeveld + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite |
