I would rather think that "git push" should notice that */HEAD is a symref
and refrain from pushing it. Stated more precisely,
- It is perfectly fine to do this:
$ git push there HEAD:somebranch
- But it does not make sense to push a symref via
[remote "there"]
push = refs/*:refs/*
to a bare repository that is used as a back-up mirror by including
refs/HEAD:refs/HEAD in the result of wildcard expansion.
