Top level push/pull vs push/pull from the sidebar.

[Prakash Nadar]

The top level push/pull button does a remote check (not sure for what), runs a spinner and the sets up the dialog to pull/push the currently checked out branch.

My question is, what is sourcetree doing to check with the remote before pull/push the currently checked out branch?

[stevestreeting]

For pull, it's making sure it can show you any new branches that you might not have fetched yet. For push, it's populating the drop-downs of the remote branch side so you know everything that's on the remote.

But this has been changed for 1.3.2 which will be out soon, please see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-864
