Hi Junio, The current 'pu' branch has a test failure for me, namely test t2017-checkout-orphan.sh #9. I had a quick squint at the conflict resolution in commit acdbdf99 and the only thing that seemed relevant was the dropping of the 'log_all_ref_updates' dance. So, I quickly put it back, like so: diff --git a/builtin/checkout.c b/builtin/checkout.c index 18a4519..de27a1b 100644 --- a/builtin/checkout.c +++ b/builtin/checkout.c @@ -602,9 +602,15 @@ static void update_refs_for_switch(const struct checkout_opts *opts, if (opts->new_orphan_branch) { if (opts->new_branch_log && !log_all_ref_updates) { const char *ref_name; + int ret, temp; ref_name = mkpath("refs/heads/%s", opts->new_orphan_branch); - if (create_reflog(ref_name)) { + temp = log_all_ref_updates; + log_all_ref_updates = 1; + ret = create_reflog(ref_name); + log_all_ref_updates = temp; + + if (ret) { fprintf(stderr, _("Can not do reflog for '%s'\n"), opts->new_orphan_branch); return; and everything works again. (I've only just noticed that the 'dance' is now within a conditional such that "!log_all_ref_updates" is true, so that the above can be simplified!) I guess 'create_reflog' should be called 'maybe_create_reflog' :-D HTH ATB, Ramsay Jones -- 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
