Then a hostile remote can stop users from cloning his repository by detaching HEAD? That's not nice. On the other hand, if specifying --branch=<wrong-branch> leads to detached case, then we should probably refuse to clone. But that should happen before transferring the pack. -- Duy -- 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
