Make `git push` work

Open cjb opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

It should:

  • announce the new ref
  • make a new mutable value and publish that

Announce how? where? Forking?

I am interested in contributing towards this. But I feel that some coordination for work is necessary.

@phuicy "Announce" is a BitTorrent term for letting the network know that you are available to peer with for a specified hash.

I realise that, but why do it for every push? Could you not do something simpler, auto track the bare repo? why not do it for a fork only?

Are you really going to have a new torrent for every commit? surely that defeats the point of git

No, not a new torrent for every commit. But, we need to be able to tell the torrent tracker that a new node is available for peer. As @cjb said, for a specified hash.
