Subject: [PATCH] Correct documentation for git-push --mirror
Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 23:25:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080621032525.GA10020@spearce.org> (raw)

This option behaves more like:

  git push $url +refs/*:refs/*

then it does like:

  git push $url +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*

so we should document it to be more clear about that.
