Subject: Wishlist: git fetch --reference
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 19:57:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53F6B1AB.3030706@symas.com> (raw)

I maintain multiple copies of the same repo because I keep each one checked 
out to different branch/rev levels. It would be nice if, similar to clone 
--reference, we could also use git fetch --reference to reference a local repo 
when doing a fetch to pull in updates.
