This feels somewhat backwards, and it makes me wonder if it is a better approach to teach update_ref() about the naming rules, so that the callers do not have to say the same thing twice "This is not a ref and I am giving all-caps name, by the way I am also not calling update_ref() because that is only for real refs". -- 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
