global push.default=current not respected? [message #708140]

Hi All,

I have the following setting in $HOME/.gitconfig:

[push]
default = current

Also, when I look at the "Effective Configuration" in my repository's properties view I see the value is set.

However, when I do a push from my workspace all locally created branches are getting created in my remote repository.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't only the current branch be pushed?

Thanks,

Frank Grimes

Egit has its own way to handle this, which might be overriding your config setting. Either that or jgit doesn't support this configuration option yet -- that situation came up earlier with merge.ff.

The egit preference can be set from Team -> Remote -> Configure Push to Upstream... The default is to push everything, I think. You can restrict it to 'master', or whatever specific branches you prefer, in the dialog that will pop up. Similarly for fetch, via and Team -> Remote -> Configure Fetch from UpStream... I don't know if either of these supports 'current'.
