Subject: suggestion: store the URL somewhere in .git/
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2005 13:08:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <430A30C8.3080908@linuxmachines.com> (raw)

It would be nice if the URL could be stored somewhere in .git/ This
makes it a lot easier to update repositories because you don't always
have to go and track down where you got it in the first place. Something
like this perhaps:

~$ cat .git/location
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/
~$ git-pull-script

Then something like below could be added to handle that easy enough.

Jeff
