Re: [RFC/PATCH] Introduce branch.<name>.pushremote

[Blind <stoycho.sleptsov@gmail.com>]

If I understand correctly,
in your scenario the branches with branch.<name>.pushremote
will be still included in the $git push <remote> --all?
Are you considering some way to exclude a branch from "push --all"
(branch.<name>.push = always, explicit, never... for example)?
Or maybe, if the branch is already marked as special
with branch.<name>.pushremote,
then it could be logical to push it only when is explicitly specified
on the command line (excluded from --all)?

Thanks,
Blind.
