2007-01-15git-pull: disallow implicit merging to detached HEADLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
Instead, we complain to the user and suggest that they explicitly specify the remote and branch. We depend on the exit status of git-symbolic-ref, so let's go ahead and document that. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-15Fix git-fetch while on detached HEAD not to give needlessly alarming errorsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
When we are on a detached HEAD, there is no current branch. There is no reason to leak the error messages to the end user since this is a situation we expect to see. This adds -q option to git-symbolic-ref to exit without issuing an error message if the given name is not a symbolic ref. By the way, with or without this patch, there currently is no good way to tell failure modes between "git symbolic-ref HAED" and "git symbolic-ref HEAD". Both says "is not a symbolic ref". We may want to do something about it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-01De-emphasise the symbolic link documentation.Libravatar Andy Parkins1-18/+11
The fact that git has previously used symbolic links for representing symbolic refs doesn't seem relevant to the current function of git-symbolic-ref. This patch makes less of a big deal about the symbolic link history and instead focuses on what git does now.
