pushNonFFCurrent::
Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
- pushNonFFDefault::
- Advice to set 'push.default' to 'upstream' or 'current'
- when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed 'matching
- refs' by default (i.e. you did not provide an explicit
- refspec, and no 'push.default' configuration was set)
- and it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
pushNonFFMatching::
Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
overridden by `branch.<name>.pushremote`. If no remote is
configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
`origin` for fetching and `remote.pushdefault` for pushing.

branch.<name>.pushremote::
When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for

If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from

Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and

If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an

summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see

tar.umask::
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of

- If linkgit:git-tag[1] is not selecting the key you want it to
