Is "refs" so special that it must stand separately from all others? The primary purpose of this step is to pass a strbuf to refs_update_symref() so that we can learn what the original value of the HEAD was, so that report_auto() can give a more intelligent message. The introduction of "refs" to avoid repetitive calls to get_main_ref_store() is orthogonal to that. It is a good change, but it should stand on its own, as a separate "preparatory clean-up" patch. > diff --git a/t/t5505-remote.sh b/t/t5505-remote.sh > index 532035933f..711d6e5598 100755 > --- a/t/t5505-remote.sh > +++ b/t/t5505-remote.sh > @@ -434,7 +434,7 @@ test_expect_success 'set-head --auto has no problem w/multiple HEADs' ' > cd test && > git fetch two "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/two/*" && > git remote set-head --auto two >output 2>&1 && > - echo "two/HEAD set to main" >expect && > + echo "'\''two/HEAD'\'' is now created and points to '\''main'\''" >expect && > test_cmp expect output > ) > ' > @@ -453,6 +453,17 @@ test_expect_success 'set-head explicit' ' > ) > ' > > + > +test_expect_success 'set-head --auto reports change' ' > + ( > + cd test && > + git remote set-head origin side2 && > + git remote set-head --auto origin >output 2>&1 && > + echo "'\''origin/HEAD'\'' has changed from '\''side2'\'' and now points to '\''main'\''" >expect && > + test_cmp expect output > + ) > +' > + > cat >test/expect <<EOF > Pruning origin > URL: $(pwd)/one
