[question] braid push to a different branch? about braid HOT 3 CLOSED

It would be a very useful addition but it has not been implemented. Locally we still use the braid diff > patch + git apply patch approach.

I have often thought about extending braid to use hub (https://github.com/github/hub) to generate the pull request. Braid already creates a separate temp git directory to do it's work, it would not take much to get it pushing to a separate branch (via a command line switch to push?) or even launching the hub command to actually generate the pull request.

But alas it is not implemented. I may try to investigate how hard it would be to optionally push to a separate branch as configured on the command line.

As a fellow hub user, it would be a great addition, as long as it would still be possible to accommodate non-github repos (ideally using the separate branch approach)

Ok had a go at implementing this and it turns out it was relatively easy. See commit 91f2336 - I will try and release 1.0.14 in the next hour or so
