Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] fetch: add remote.<name>.refmap
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 10:49:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b04c00b974ce488ea1eb82556040fb54c05dad5a.1790333402.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2412.v3.git.git.1790333402.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

Add a per-remote config variable, remote.<name>.refmap, that provides
the default value for --refmap the same way remote.<name>.fetch
already provides the default refspecs to fetch. It only takes effect
when there is something explicit to fetch, on the command line or via
remote.<name>.fetch, matching how --refmap itself already behaves.
