Fetch configuration after cloning [message #1829663]

Hello Community!

We are using a git Repository on a Team Foundation Server within Eclipse.
After cloning the Repository the git configuration contains one fetch configuration per branch instead of a wildcard-rule. It looks like this:
[remote "origin"]
url = <our_URL>
fetch = +refs/heads/branch1:refs/remotes/origin/branch1
fetch = +refs/heads/branch2:refs/remotes/origin/branch2
fetch = +refs/heads/branchx:refs/remotes/origin/branchx

Our JGit core version is: 5.6.0

This configuration is sub-optimal since you have to adapt this config after deleting a branch. Otherwise the user will get an Error message, that the branch cannot be fetched. However we don't want every user to have to change their configuration whenever we delete a branch.

Is it possible to configure the repository or Eclipse in a way, that cloning the repository will create a wildcard fetch rule per default instead?

Many Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
Martin
