On: Using Emacs and Git with Magit 2.1

[iamthebest]

My experience with Magit:

I played around with it, and didn't see any advantage over using git commands.

Then I tried pushing a change. I was expecting some confirmation on what refspec to use... but no! Magit pushed my change directly to refs/heads instead of refs/for, completely bypassing gerrit code review.

I got burned. That was it; I'm never using Magit again.

So you didn't read the manual or at least the help for the command you were about to use and blame magit for not doing what you expected?

As with many emacs commands you use C-u if you want to specify the refspec to push to.

Or with the new version it's `P o` (Push, other).
