It turns out that the git-push documentation didn't describe what it would do when not given a refspec, (not on the command line, nor in a remotes file). This is fairly important for the user who is trying to understand operations such as: git clone git://something/some/where # hack, hack, hack git push origin I tracked the mystery behavior down to git-send-pack and lifted the relevant portion of its documentation up to git-push, (namely that all refs existing both locally and remotely are updated).

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [--force] <repository> <refspec>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
|
|
necessary to complete the given refs.
|
|
|
|
You can make interesting things happen to a repository
|
|
every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See
|
|
documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<repository>::
|
|
The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
|
|
operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
|
|
|
|
<refspec>::
|
|
The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
|
|
`+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
|
|
by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
|
|
the destination ref.
|
|
+
|
|
The <src> side can be an
|
|
arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
|
|
argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push
|
|
four parents before the current master head).
|
|
+
|
|
The local ref that matches <src> is used
|
|
to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If
|
|
the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
|
|
even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
|
|
+
|
|
Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither
|
|
on the command line nor in any Push line of the
|
|
corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the
|
|
refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
|
|
side are updated.
|
|
+
|
|
Some short-cut notations are also supported.
|
|
+
|
|
* `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
|
|
* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
|
|
<ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref>
|
|
in the source.
|
|
|
|
\--all::
|
|
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
|
|
refs be pushed.
|
|
|
|
\--tags::
|
|
All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
|
|
addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
-f, \--force::
|
|
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
|
|
not a descendent of the local ref used to overwrite it.
|
|
This flag disables the check. This can cause the
|
|
remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.
