Subject: git p4: allow short ref names to --branch
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40d69ac3a4fd72b879bab9975b26e1b445b5f0cc;p=git.git

git p4: allow short ref names to --branch

For a clone or sync, --branch says where the newly imported
branch should go, or which existing branch to sync up.  It
takes an argument, which is currently either something that
starts with "refs/", or if not, "refs/heads/p4" is prepended.

Putting it in heads seems like a bad default; these should
go in remotes/p4/ in most situations.  Make that the new default,
and be more liberal in the form of the branch name.

 --branch <branch>::
 	Import changes into given branch.  If the branch starts with
-	'refs/', it will be used as is, otherwise the path 'refs/heads/'
-	will be prepended.  The default branch is 'p4/master'.
+	'refs/', it will be used as is.  Otherwise if it does not start
+	with 'p4/', that prefix is added.  The branch is assumed to
+	name a remote tracking, but this can be modified using
+	'--import-local', or by giving a full ref name.  The default
+	branch is 'master'.

 This example imports a new remote "p4/proj2" into an existing
 git repository:
