Given the following symbolic reference: $ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/m refs/heads/master Correct in 2.6.6: $ PATH=~/git/git-2.6.6:$PATH git branch m -> master * master Wrong in 2.7.0: $ PATH=~/git/git-2.7.0:$PATH git branch m -> m * master Still wrong in current version 2.8.0: $ PATH=~/git/git-2.8.0:$PATH git branch m -> m * master As the new output isn't very useful, I assume this is an unintentional bug/regression. The 2.6.6 output has been used since at least version 1.7.12.4 (when I first started making use of this ability). -Phil -- 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
