Junio C Hamano40f2f8d2006-02-07 08:04:39[diff] [blame]295 The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
296 operation. See the section <a href="#URLS">GIT URLS</a> below.

300&lt;refspec&gt;
301</dt>
302<dd>
303<p>
304 The canonical format of a &lt;refspec&gt; parameter is
305 <tt>+?&lt;src&gt;:&lt;dst&gt;</tt>; that is, an optional plus <tt>+</tt>, followed
306 by the source ref, followed by a colon <tt>:</tt>, followed by
307 the destination ref.
308</p>
309<p>The &lt;src&gt; side can be an
310arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
311argument to <tt>git-cat-file -t</tt>. E.g. <tt>master~4</tt> (push
312four parents before the current master head).</p>
313<p>The local ref that matches &lt;src&gt; is used
314to fast forward the remote ref that matches &lt;dst&gt;. If
315the optional plus <tt>+</tt> is used, the remote ref is updated
316even if it does not result in a fast forward update.</p>
Junio C Hamano7e9f6b72006-02-22 10:44:55[diff] [blame]317<p>Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither
318on the command line nor in any Push line of the
319corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the
320refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
321side are updated.</p>
Junio C Hamano3f403b02006-12-13 10:14:13[diff] [blame]322<p><tt>tag &lt;tag&gt;</tt> means the same as <tt>refs/tags/&lt;tag&gt;:refs/tags/&lt;tag&gt;</tt>.</p>
Junio C Hamano6926bef2007-06-16 09:54:05[diff] [blame]323<p>A parameter &lt;ref&gt; without a colon pushes the &lt;ref&gt; from the source
324repository to the destination repository under the same name.</p>
Junio C Hamano3f403b02006-12-13 10:14:13[diff] [blame]325<p>Pushing an empty &lt;src&gt; allows you to delete the &lt;dst&gt; ref from
326the remote repository.</p>

352 Path to the <em>git-receive-pack</em> program on the remote

371 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
Junio C Hamano51c2ab02006-07-09 20:38:54[diff] [blame]372 not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it.
Junio C Hamano40f2f8d2006-02-07 08:04:39[diff] [blame]373 This flag disables the check. This can cause the
374 remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.

521specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
522file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
523above formats, optionally followed by a hash <tt>#</tt> and the
524name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
525<tt>$GIT_DIR/branches/&lt;remote&gt;</tt> file that stores a &lt;url&gt;
