From 20e416409fc2bc260faf65a0fc74927ed0d3ca12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2021 15:13:32 -0800 Subject: push: do not turn --delete '' into a matching push When we added a syntax sugar "git push remote --delete " to "git push" as a synonym to the canonical "git push remote :" syntax at f517f1f2 (builtin-push: add --delete as syntactic sugar for :foo, 2009-12-30), we weren't careful enough to make sure that is not empty. Blindly rewriting "--delete " to ":" means that an empty string results in refspec ":", which is the syntax to ask for "matching" push that does not delete anything. Worse yet, if there were matching refs that can be fast-forwarded, they would have been published prematurely, even if the user feels that they are not ready yet to be pushed out, which would be a real disaster.
