* sync: Pushes the git-annex branch to remote/synced/git-annex, rather than ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2012-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | directly to remote/git-annex. This fixes a problem I was seeing in the assistant where two remotes would attempt to sync with one another at the same time, and both failed pushing the diverged git-annex branch. Then when both tried to resolve the failed push, they each modified their git-annex branch, which again each blocked the other from pushing into it. The result was that the git-annex branches were perpetually diverged (despite having the same content!) and once the assistant fell into this trap, it couldn't get out and always had to do the slow push/fail/pull/merge/push/fail cycle.
