SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-symbolic-ref' [-q] <name> [<ref>]
+'git-symbolic-ref' [-q] [-m <reason>] <name> [<ref>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
symbolic ref but a detached HEAD; instead exit with
non-zero status silently.
+-m::
+ Update the reflog for <name> with <reason>. This is valid only
+ when creating or updating a symbolic ref.
+
NOTES
-----
In the past, `.git/HEAD` was a symbolic link pointing at
if (rename_ref(oldref, newref, logmsg))
die("Branch rename failed");
- if (!strcmp(oldname, head) && create_symref("HEAD", newref))
+ /* no need to pass logmsg here as HEAD didn't really move */
+ if (!strcmp(oldname, head) && create_symref("HEAD", newref, NULL))
die("Branch renamed to %s, but HEAD is not updated!", newname);
}
strcpy(path + len, "HEAD");
reinit = !read_ref("HEAD", sha1);
if (!reinit) {
- if (create_symref("HEAD", "refs/heads/master") < 0)
+ if (create_symref("HEAD", "refs/heads/master", NULL) < 0)
exit(1);
