Let's imagine that There might be a simpler change to solve the git-svn-HEAD issue. But I was about to independently bring up the issue that I wanted to hide away the "remote-tracking" branches. I currently get a lot of noise in "git branch" output that are remote-tracking branches that I will never commit to. (I use a -origin suffix to help me filter them out, but I'd prefer not to see them at all here.) Meanwhile, as I've been teaching new git users, I've had to carefully teach: 1) Never commit to a branch name that appears on the right side of ':' in a Pull: refspec. 2) BTW, that ':' might be only implicit. A refspec of "branch" is equivalent to "branch:branch" so don't commit to those either. That's pretty painful, so I really think these remote-tracking refs belong outside of refs/heads. -Carl --pgp-sign-Multipart_Wed_Mar__1_15:23:41_2006-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEBiz96JDdNq8qSWgRAlK9AJ4//Wo3Q8YfuM/SU4t39fHiyiDESACfbmqB /Ryjkmrcme4bw+norq1qQi8= =EkU9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Wed_Mar__1_15:23:41_2006-1--
