Subject: git push first asks for credentials, then checks the branch exists
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2014 13:36:12 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <259061394012172@web5j.yandex.ru> (raw)

Hi,

Here's my usecase. I have created a BranchWithVeryLongName and I want to have it pushed to origin. So I use this command with version 1.8.1.2:

git push origin BranchMistypedLongName

(note that I mistyped the branch name). The following happens:
1. git asks me for username and password
2. it authenticates on the origin server
3. it bails out with "error: sfc refspec BranchMistypedLongName does not match any"


Can't git perhaps check that the branch exists before it asks me for credentials and just say there's no such branch?

Could you please fix this?

Thank you.
Dmitry.
