Why not just DWIM? Ahh, that one. The local branch name hierarchy refs/heads/ is special in that you cannot have a tag sitting at the tip, so when "push" decides to update something under refs/heads/ on the receiving end, it may not be a bad idea to peel it to a commit (and fail if it does not) before creating a pack and telling the other end what the value of the updated tip should be, and I do not think it will hurt anybody. Restriction in the other direction (i.e. "if push does not go to refs/tags/, unconditionally unwrap") is a no-no, though. -- 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
