Re: [RFC/PATCH] git-remote-mediawiki: reset private ref after non-dumb push

Not updating was the default until 664059fb62 (i.e. until 1.8.4), so the
default already changed once. I tend to agree with Felipe that doing the
update by default makes sense.

OK.  Thanks.

git-remote-mediawiki is kind of a special case, as the remote side uses
a very different data model, hence it can make sense to export+reimport
to get locally what the remote side received.

Hmm, I am not sure how export+reimport would not make sense for
others like cvs and p4.

But when interacting with something closer to Git (bzr, hg, ...),
the mapping should be close to 1-1 and re-importing wouldn't make
sense.

I agree if your argument is that re-importing should result in an
identitical result hence is unnecessary.
