Indexed changes in origin after push [message #900717]

Hi all

I'm experiencing some unexpected behavior while pushing commits to the origin repo.

Steps:
Clone a git project from local file system
Make some change and commit
Push to the origin newly created commit
See "git status" on remote repository

Actual:
I can see my commit after the push operation, but there are indexed changes which are actually correspond to the state of the code before pushing.

Am I missing something, or is it a bug?

Thanks,
Eugene

Sounds like you're pushing to a non-bare repository, which is not the standard pattern.

Keep in mind that push does nothing to the index or working tree of the destination. All it does is copy the commits and update references. If you want to update the index and/or working tree you'll have to do that manually, for instance with a mixed or hard reset.

Better to use a bare repository as the origin, which by definition has no index or working tree and which therefore won't exhibit this behavior.

In circumstances when you need to you move commits directly between two non-bare repositories, rather than going through a common bare origin, use pull rather than push. Or try git bundles for this (though not with Egit/JGit which doesn't support this very useful feature).

Thanks, that was helpful!

Another question,

how can I catch push event?

I mean, when I click push at synchronization view, is there a possibility to catch that event?

It something similar to onIndexChange event but for the remote repository.
