Failed to find any bugreporting system on git's website so I'm reporting it here; please correct me if that's wrong. I have the following snippet in my .git/config: [branch "article"] remote = baron merge = refs/heads/dexen-article However, the `Push' button from git gui sends local branch `article' to remote branch `article', rather than to the indicated `dexen-article'. For reference, with the CLI `git push', the local branch `article' is pushed to remote branch `dexen-article' as expected. Regards, -- dexen deVries ``You want to make your way in the CS field?
