Hi, it is a very good idea to read the information which remote tracks which branch from the config, i.e. if you branch "refs/remotes/hallo", to look if there is any remote information for that local ref.

Just to be on the safe side, you might want to check here if there are more than one remotes "tracking" into start_ref. However, it might not be relevant in practice. > + } > +} > + > +static int get_remote_config(const char* key, const char* value) > +{ > + if (!prefixcmp(key, "remote.") && > + !strncmp(key + 7, start_ref + 13, remote_len)) { > + if (config_track == -1 > + && !strcmp(key + 7 + remote_len, ".trackintolocalbranches")) FWIW I don't think .trackIntoLocalBranches" is needed.

But then, it might be nicer to return -1, i.e. ret = error("what a long branch name you have!"); and saying if (!ret) { git_config_set(key, value); ... printf("Branch %s setup... } } if (repo_config) free(repo_config); return ret; But I see you made it return "void", so you can skip the "return ret;". > @@ -333,7 +424,9 @@ static void create_branch(const char *name, const char *start_name, > if (start_sha1) > /* detached HEAD */ > hashcpy(sha1, start_sha1); > - else if (get_sha1(start_name, sha1)) > + else if (dwim_ref(start_name, strlen(start_name), sha1, &real_ref) > 1) > + die("Ambiguous object name: '%s'.", start_name); I know, I should have said that earlier, but I just found out myself: We have a config variable core.warnambiguousrefs, and maybe we should _not_ complain and set the defaults when the global variable warn_ambiguous_refs is 0.
