I'd be happy to keep working on this. In fact, I think I have a patch for this ready.

Do you mean that install_branch_config should continue to emit a warning in the "side effect" case? I'm not sure I agree--how is "git branch -f --track foo foo" less erroneous than "git branch -u foo refs/heads/foo"? Perhaps I'm missing some insight on how "--track" is used. The tests appear to already cover all instances in which install_branch_config is called, and bumping the warning to an error does not cause any test failures. - Brian Gesiak -- 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
