See EXAMPLES I don't know about this line, I reckon Junio has a + refspec for the pu branch, that is, it's ok to use a + refspec if you let others know that the branch may be 'rebased'. > + branch. *This can abandon commits in the origin repository.* I liked your wording with the commits becoming dangling better. > +That is, commits A and B would belong to an unreachable branch without a > +symbolic name. Perhaps it would be better to say those commits "would no longer belong to a branch with a symbolic name, and thus become unreachable"? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
