Usability of git-update-ref <headname>

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A few times now I've done the following

 # I think I'm on master, but I'm acually on maint
 git-branch foo-feature
 git-checkout foo-feature

 # realise I've branched in the wring place
 git-update-ref foo-feature master

And from that point, all sorts of things go weird, because I should have said

 git-update-ref refs/heads/foo-feature master

to fix it up I have to manually rm .git/foo-feature -- and I can't see
a way to remove a ref with git-update-ref, so if I was using packed
refs I'd be in trouble ;-)

Am I using the wrong command? I'd be happy to remove the bogus head
and create a new one, but I don't think we have git-rm-ref.
