Thanks a lot! One thing that this misses (as does your original script) is the reflogs. Doing "branch -m" to rename a branch will actually move the reflogs, too, but there is otherwise no way to access that functionality. It does not seem unreasonable to teach "git update-ref" to do renames to take advantage of this (it would be fairly simple; the logic is already encapsulated internally in a rename_ref function). -Peff -- 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
