[PATCH 03/15] t5510: check that "git fetch --prune --tags" does not prune branches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"git fetch --prune --tags" is currently interpreted as follows:

* "--tags" is equivalent to specifying a refspec
  "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*", and supersedes any default refspecs
  configured via remote.$REMOTE.fetch.

* "--prune" only operates on the refspecs being fetched.

Therefore, "git fetch --prune --tags" prunes tags in refs/tags/* but
does not fetch or prune other references.  The fact that this command
does not prune references outside of refs/tags/* was previously
untested.  So add a test that verifies the status quo.

However, the status quo is surprising, so it will be changed later in
this patch series.
