Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Documentation: explain push.default option a bit more
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 09:50:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1335253806-9059-2-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1335253806-9059-1-git-send-email-Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr>

The previous documentation was explaining _what_ the options were doing,
but were of little help explaining _why_ a user should set his default to
either of the options.

Should match exactly Junio's proposal. I like the wording.

 * `nothing` - do not push anything.
-* `matching` - push all matching branches.
-  All branches having the same name in both ends are considered to be
-  matching. This is the default.
+* `matching` - push all branches having the same name in both ends.
+  This is for those who prepare all the branches into a publishable
+  shape and then push them out with a single command.  It is not
+  appropriate for pushing into a repository shared by multiple users,
+  since locally stalled branches will attempt a non-fast forward push
+  if other users updated the branch.  This is the default.
 * `upstream` - push the current branch to its upstream branch.
+  With this, `git push` will update the same remote ref as the one which
+  is merged by `git pull`, making `push` and `pull` symmetrical.
+  See "branch.<name>.merge" for how to configure the upstream branch.
 * `tracking` - deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
 * `current` - push the current branch to a branch of the same name.
+  +
+  The `current` and `upstream` modes are for those who want to
+  push out a single branch after finishing work, even when the other
+  branches are not yet ready to be pushed out. If you are working with
+  other people to push into the same shared repository, you would want
+  to use one of these.
