And you can put multiple values for the same remote.hub/pub/release.fetch
key, using "git config --add".
$ git config --add remote.hub/pub/release.fetch \
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/hub/pub/release/*
$ git config --add remote.hub/pub/release.fetch \
+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/hub/pub/release/*
$ ...
You would get the following config:
[remote "hub/pub/release"]
url = ...
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/hub/pub/release/*
fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/hub/pub/release/*
tagopts = --no-tags
You don't put many refspecs in a *single* value.

It does.

It does.
