Re: [egit-dev] Let's debate about "Commit and Push" behaviour

Hi all,
I red the various contributions to this discussion, and they all added
good value to the debate, driving the initial issue to a bunch of
possible action items.
I agree the most with Robin's comment: the issue I have is not that
much that I can't use "Commit and Push" but more that I don't know
what it is going to do. So just showing the label of the default
destination would be a very great first iteration IMO. "Commit and
Push to origin:master" or "Commit and Push to gerrit:refs/for/master"
as label of the button would be quite helpful. [1] I also believe for
example that "Push to upstream" could be changed in a similar way to
directly show the destination, so user doesn't need to remember what's
upstream for each branch. [2].
I agree a drop-down button would be nice [3], but I have the
impression it's not as important as disambiguating the "Commit and
Push" label.
I really don't think Commit and Push is the biggest culprit.
I've honestly never figured out what egit's "Push to Upstream" means.
What git command does it correspond to ?
is it pushing to what is its tracking branch ? is it pushing to the
remote called "upstream" (a bad but very often used convention) or is it
pushing to what I last pulled from ?
it is one of the reasons I don't use egit much for doing actually
pushes/rebases - I simply cannot map all other git tools to this UI
concept.
I agree having a label on these to actually say what the push will
target would be of great help!
Especially if it would use the more common form rather than the
technical one (i.e. origin/master as opposed to refs/ form).
