Re: Newbie / git / gitosis question

Mmm...

I think I see what's happening  - vaguely - but I'm not sure I understand why!

Why does gitosis require you to be this specific? Why can't I just do
a 'straight' push?

I've been working away at Gitosis and it's mostly fair enough but
there's one bit that's unclear to me...

git push origin master:refs/heads/master

Would somebody kindly explain (or point to docs) what
refs/heads/master means? How is this different from just 'git push
origin master' or even 'git push origin master:master'?

Any insights much appreciated.
