Re: [PATCH] Multiple refs from the same remote in one git fetch

Well, what I was *trying* to do is simply add a more descriptive name
for the linus master branch to my existing tree.

So it seemed like an obvious idea to add

Pull: master:origin
Pull: master:linus_master

Couldn't you do this via symlinks or symrefs? 

BTW. Do we support symrefs other than HEAD, and does reflog works with
symref heads, and symlinked heads?

How?

Have only "Pull: master:linus_master" as the pull line, and make origin
symlink (ln -s $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/linus_master $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/origin)
or symref (echo "ref: refs/heads/linus_master" > $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/origin)
or vice versa.
