Right. It's just that this name clash with "upstream" or "upstream/latest" is kind of inconvenient, especially in magit (I should have mentioned this in the report) that when you try to switch to a branch and as you try to auto-complete for "upstream", it shows all remote branches starting with upstream as well, which can be confusing. Using a different name helps a little, and I guess this could be why dh-make started suggesting "upstreamvcs". It doesn't have to be that name, of course. Anything different from "upstream" helps :) > -- > Sean Whitton -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
