[PATCH v4 5/7] update-ref: add support for 'symref-create' command

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

 



From: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@xxxxxxxxx>

Add 'symref-create' command to the '--stdin' mode 'git-update-ref' to
allow creation of symbolic refs in a transaction. The 'symref-create'
command takes in a <new-target>, which the created <ref> will point to.

Also, support the 'core.prefersymlinkrefs' config, wherein if the config
is set and the filesystem supports symlinks, we create the symbolic ref
as a symlink. We fallback to creating a regular symref if creating the
symlink is unsuccessful.
