Is it possible to push a commit rather than a branch?

See original GitHub issue

My current git workflow is to work primarily with commits (rather than branches). This works beautifully in magit proper, but I’ve been having some issues in edamagit. The main thing that’s causing issues is that I’m not sure how to push a commit to a remote.

Is it possible to push a commit rather than a branch to a remote in edamagit? I know you can push a branch to a remote, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do this when working directly with a commit. I’m looking for the equivalent of:

$ git push $REMOTE $COMMIT_SHA:refs/heads/$REMOTE_BRANCH_NAME

This is increasingly becoming an issue for me as well. I don’t maintain a functioning emacs config anymore, and that stuff rots. So opening emacs to try a quick thing in magit isn’t always easy. Maybe I should keep a vanilla + magit config around.
