I think the best you can get is two invocations of `git update-ref`: git update-ref <new_name> <old_name> && git update-ref -d <old_name> Although if you're scripting it the `--stdin` mode may be easier: git update-ref --stdin <<-\EOF create <new_name> <old_name> delete <old_name> EOF Note that "<new_name>" must be a fully-qualified ref (that is, it must start with "refs/", so "refs/heads/new_name" for a branch or "refs/tags/new_name" for a tag). -- 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
