Subject: Using push.default with push.remote.push
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2020 10:41:36 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHd499BhLe0xF_k2ASV=ZuM7LVvxui_cxzB9UrJ2MDCyyNUmtw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

With the specified configuration:

```
[push]
    default = current
[remote "origin"]
    url = git@mydomain:myrepo
    fetch = +refs/heads/dev/john/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
    push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/dev/john/*
```

Given a currently checked out local branch named `my-feature`, how can
I make this command:

    git push -n origin

Behave semantically identical to this command?

    git push -n origin my-feature

The current behavior seems to be working as designed, but not as
desired. The first push command pushes *all* branches under
`refs/heads/*`, instead of just the current branch as it normally
would via `push.default` setting. It sort of feels like if a resolved,
explicitly defined `push.<remote>.push` config is found *and* it
includes wildcards, the `push.default` setting should still be
respected.

Are there any workarounds to getting the behavior I'm looking for?

Note my ultimate goal here is to transparently map local branches to a
branch with a prefix on the remote. But I do not want to explicitly
work with or see those prefixes locally. Basically
`dev/john/my-feature` on the remote should be `refs/heads/my-feature`
locally, and `refs/remotes/origin/my-feature` for fetches. The
push-without-explicit-refspec case is the only one I haven't gotten to
work as desired yet.
