Description

Does pygit2 implements 'git push --mirror'? If yes, please advice or point me to the documentation. Thanks in advance.

I am working on a script which mirrors a repository and pushes to another repository. As I understand, remote.push only pushes the explicitly defined refspec. Is there a way to push the complete repository similar to 'git push --mirror'?

Research direction

Start with the pygit2 remote.push entry point and its documentation, then compare its refspec behavior with the requested git push --mirror operation. Done means establishing whether complete repository mirroring is supported and documenting the supported usage or the missing capability.
