The fetch-pack documentation is very clear that refs given on the command line are to be full refs: <refs>...:: The remote heads to update from. This is relative to $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. and this has been the case since fetch-pack was originally documented in 8b3d9dc ([PATCH] Documentation: clone/fetch/upload., 2005-07-14). Let's follow our own documentation to set a good example, and to avoid breaking when this restriction is enforced in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- This patch by itself isn't a big deal for backwards compatibility But if we are violating the constraints in the documentation, then I worry that others are, too. On the other hand, I seriously doubt anyone is actually using fetch-pack directly anymore at all. t/t5500-fetch-pack.sh | 6 +++--- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/t/t5500-fetch-pack.sh b/t/t5500-fetch-pack.sh index bafcca7..9bf69e9 100755 --- a/t/t5500-fetch-pack.sh +++ b/t/t5500-fetch-pack.sh @@ -97,7 +97,7 @@ test_expect_success 'setup' ' git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/B ' -pull_to_client 1st "B A" $((11*3)) +pull_to_client 1st "refs/heads/B refs/heads/A" $((11*3)) test_expect_success 'post 1st pull setup' ' add A11 $A10 && @@ -110,9 +110,9 @@ test_expect_success 'post 1st pull setup' ' done ' -pull_to_client 2nd "B" $((64*3)) +pull_to_client 2nd "refs/heads/B" $((64*3)) -pull_to_client 3rd "A" $((1*3)) +pull_to_client 3rd "refs/heads/A" $((1*3)) test_expect_success 'clone shallow' ' git clone --depth 2 "file://$(pwd)/." shallow -- 1.7.8.13.g74677 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
