I tend to work on multiple machines that don't have direct access to
each and therefore keep my git repositories in sync using bundles.
This works fine for single branches - but how can I set things up so
that I can just
$ git pull <bundle>
or
$ git fetch <bundle>
and have git update all branches?
Regards
Jeff

1. Make sure you've got all of the refs you want in the bundle. I
usually use `git bundle create ... --all`
2. Set up a remote on the destination side with a url of wherever you
keep bundles (like /media/cdrom) and a fetch line like
refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/source/*
git remote add bundle /media/cdrom
git config --replace-all remotes.bundle.fetch refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bundle/*
Since your destination machine is likely not connected to the
internet, you may also want copy all of the remotes too. I do that
with
git config --add remotes.bundle.fetch refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*
Beware of the use of the name "origin" with setups like this. If you
have branches under refs/remotes/origin/ on the machine you use to
create the bundle, you will should make sure you don't try to copy
refs from refs/heads and refs/remotes/origin to the same place
(because refs/remotes/origin is the natural place to store both).

On
$ git pull bundle
or
$ git fetch bundle
I get
fatal: '/media/cdrom': unable to chdir or not a git archive
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
Any ideas?
(I used the mount point of the USB stick where the bundles were but
the principle is the same)

Sorry, that's supposed to be /media/cdrom/name-of-bundle
