From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 05:52:18 +0000 (-0800) Subject: refs outside refs/{heads,tags} match less strongly. X-Git-Tag: v1.5.0-rc0~239 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=29561ad0adadf4884858c209bb22b41d8d9a66ba;p=git.git refs outside refs/{heads,tags} match less strongly. This changes the refname matching logic used to decide which ref is updated with git-send-pack. We used to error out when pushing 'master' when the other end has both 'master' branch and a tracking branch 'remotes/$name/master' but with this, 'master' matches only 'refs/heads/master' when both and no other 'master' exist. Pushing 'foo' when both heads/foo and tags/foo exist at the remote end is still considered an error and you would need to disambiguate between them by being more explicit. When neither heads/foo nor tags/foo exists at the remote, pushing 'foo' when there is only remotes/origin/foo is not ambiguous, while it still is ambiguous when there are more than one such weaker match (remotes/origin/foo and remotes/alt/foo, for example).
