From 9debc3241b5d54891600c839b4df4f48b2daa60c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 09:23:20 +0100 Subject: git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.' This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having to declare a fake remote like [remote "local"] url = . fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch", which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if "git-fetch" is converted to a builtin. To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact, doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate FETCH_HEAD appropriately. The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support, extending it so that branch..remote items referring '.' can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.
