Provide an overload to push to untracked refSpecs

[mdmoura]

I am executing the following command on a Cake build script: GitPush(".", "username", "password", "master");

And I get the following error: LibGit2Sharp.LibGit2SharpException: The branch 'master' ("refs/heads/master") that you are trying to push does not track an upstream branch.

After it I just run it manually on the command line using: git push origin master

And in this case it is pushed. What might be wrong?

Sorry for the late response. The description of the method you are using is

Push specific branch authenticated.

So, this method updates a tracked remote ref using a local ref. The error you received was

The branch 'master' ("refs/heads/master") that you are trying to push does not track an upstream branch.

Which means the local ref does not track a remote ref to update and hence libgit does not know "where" to push to.

On the other hand, the "working" command you provided correlates to git push <repository> <refspec> which updates the defined refs (from refspec) in the defined repository.

So what you are looking for is the currently not existing equivalent of Network.Push(Remote, string, string, PushOptions).
