forced push automatically does force fetch? [message #997801]

Hey all,

I've been using the latest version of egit for a couple weeks now and have noticed that when I push -f, egit automatically fetches the updated remote branch. It used to be I'd have to manually fetch -f to update the remote branch after pushing.

To be honest I liked the old behavior as it gave me an extra "copy" in case something went wrong. Is there any way to get the old behavior back (e.g. preferences or something).

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Not really, but it should update the reflog, so the previous version can be recalled from the
command line using origin/master@{1}. In Eclipse you can retrieve it through the reflog view.

Hey Robin,

Thanks for the reply. I've never had to resort to the reflog (knock on wood). The new view is great. (I'm coming from 1.x.)

Best,
Rob
