[PATCH] push: avoid showing false negotiation errors

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

 



When "git push" is configured to use the push negotiation, a push of
deletion of a branch (without pushing anything else) may end up not
having anything to negotiate for the common ancestor discovery.

In such a case, we end up making an internal invocation of "git
fetch --negotiate-only" without any "--negotiate-tip" parameters
that stops the negotiate-only fetch from being run, which by itself
is not a bad thing (one fewer round-trip), but the end-user sees a
"fatal: --negotiate-only needs one or more --negotiation-tip=*"
message that the user cannot act upon.

Teach "git push" to notice the situation and omit performing the
negotiate-only fetch to begin with.  One fewer process spawned, one
fewer "alarming" message given the user.
