From 29a7cf96441241a291edca8136ab3cc80201e7ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2016 06:15:11 +0200 Subject: remote rm: handle symbolic refs correctly In the modern world of reference backends, it is not OK to delete a symref by unlink()ing the file directly. This must be done via the refs API. We do so by adding the symref to the list of references to delete along with the non-symbolic references, then calling delete_refs() with the new flags option set to REF_NODEREF.
