 831         This flag disables the check.  What this means is that

 923 <div class="sectionbody">
 924 <div class="paragraph"><p>There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
 925 remote end.</p></div>
 926 <div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--all</code> flag, all refs that exist locally are transferred to
 927 the remote side.  You cannot specify any <em>&lt;ref&gt;</em> if you use
 928 this flag.</p></div>
 929 <div class="paragraph"><p>Without <code>--all</code> and without any <em>&lt;ref&gt;</em>, the heads that exist
 930 both on the local side and on the remote side are updated.</p></div>
 931 <div class="paragraph"><p>When one or more <em>&lt;ref&gt;</em> are specified explicitly (whether on the
 932 command line or via <code>--stdin</code>), it can be either a
 933 single pattern, or a pair of such pattern separated by a colon
 934 ":" (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it).  A
 935 single pattern <em>&lt;name&gt;</em> is just a shorthand for <em>&lt;name&gt;:&lt;name&gt;</em>.</p></div>
 936 <div class="paragraph"><p>Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
 937 and the destination side (after the colon).  The ref to be
 938 pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
 939 side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
 940 destination side. The rules used to match a ref are the same
 941 rules used by <em>git rev-parse</em> to resolve a symbolic ref
 942 name. See <a href="git-rev-parse.html">git-rev-parse(1)</a>.</p></div>
 943 <div class="ulist"><ul>

 947    local refs.

 973 </ul></div>
 974 </li>
 975 </ul></div>
 976 <div class="paragraph"><p>Without &#8216;--force`, the &lt;src&gt; ref is stored at the remote only if
 977 &lt;dst&gt; does not exist, or &lt;dst&gt; is a proper subset (i.e. an
 978 ancestor) of &lt;src&gt;.  This check, known as "fast-forward check",
 979 is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
 980 remote ref and lose other peoples&#8217; commits from there.</p></div>
 981 <div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--force</code>, the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.</p></div>
