Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may 22be specified for additional branch mappings. 23 24Or, equivalently, in the `$GIT_DIR/config` (note the use 25of `fetch` instead of `Pull:`): 26 27------------ 28 [remote "<remote>"] 29 url = <url> 30 push = <refspec> 31 fetch = <refspec> 32 33------------ 34 35The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be 36specified as an older notation short-hand; the named 37file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the 38above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the 39name of remote head (URL fragment notation). 40`$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url> 41without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the 42corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory. 43 44------------ 45 URL: <url> 46 Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote> 47 48------------ 49 50while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to 51 52------------ 53 URL: <url> 54 Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote> 55------------
