Ah, I was not paying close attention to resolve_gitlink_ref(); if it does not require HEAD to point at refs/ I would say it is a bug. Come to think of it, I would further say that we probably should tighten it up a bit: HEAD must be either a valid commit object name (i.e. detached) or a ref that point at somewhere under refs/heads hierarchy, not just anywhere in 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
