From: Hariom Verma <hariom18599@xxxxxxxxx> git supports an interesting feature 'Git namespaces' that allows dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple namespaces, each of which has its own branches, tags, and HEAD. But unfortunately, there exists a bug in `denyCurrentBranch` which allows pushing into a non-bare repository using a ref namespace even if it does not have any commits Here is a nice and short demonstration of that bug.
