git-bulk-fetch should support specifying remote to fetch from

That's reasonable. Right now, you can do git bulk fetch, but you're saying we should have a switch to supply a remote as well right? Something like git bulk fetch --remote origin/master

[andreiled]

Yep.
When there are multiple remotes, then get fitch by default will fetch from the remote where current branch is tracked.

[naddeoa]

Do you mean when the user supplies multiple remotes like --remote origin/master --remote other/branch or are you describing the current behaviour when there are different upstreams for the repos?

[andreiled]

I'm taking about the scenario when a single local repository has multiple remote links.
For example my local repository for git-bulk has two remotes:

• upstream pointing to your repository
• origin pointing to my fork of your repository

[naddeoa]

Cool. Ok, I'll mark this as "Accepted" or something. I'll say that label makes it fair game for implementation (by me or anyone) in the near future.

EDIT: Woops, just noticed the issue is on your fork. I'll mark it "Accepted" mentally.

[andreiled]

I created it so that when I have the time I'll remember what improvements I want to make.
Though I'll definitely be happy if it happens to be implemented by then :)
