We used to have a problem with "branch -m" when you did not have a .git/config file (or it was unwritable). I think 1.5.0.X series and 1.5.1 release had this bug; 1.5.1.1 and later should have the appropriate fix. Was this really a "whee, data loss", I wonder...? - 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
