[bt-devel] git help

[Greg Hellings]

I have now changed the line
$ git config remote.bare.push "refs/remotes/*:refs/heads/*"
to
$ git config remote.bare.push "refs/*"
and now I seem to be pushing the tags into the bare repository, and
they're getting pulled down, but there was this message on cloning:
"warning: remote HEAD reers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout"
so I cleared the bare repo and recreated it without the line
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/trunk

However, now I am getting all the tags out of the repository but only
the origin/master (svn's HEAD) branch.

Still a little ways to go!
