From 099024861021830f9d4c7db4c64c844bf9d5ebd9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:53:39 -0400 Subject: remote: deprecate --mirror The configuration created by plain --mirror is dangerous and useless, and we now have --mirror=fetch and --mirror=push to replace it. Let's warn the user. One alternative to this is to try to guess which type the user wants. In a non-bare repository, a fetch mirror doesn't make much sense, since it would overwrite local commits. But in a bare repository, you might use either type, or even both (e.g., if you are acting as an intermediate drop-point across two disconnected networks). So rather than try for complex heuristics, let's keep it simple. The user knows what they're trying to do, so let them tell us.
