Using the SHA-1 instead > of HEAD~1 works fine. Ah, yes. I added checks for invalid refspecs, and missed that you can use things that are invalid as ref names but valid as object names. We need a test for the src being an object name around line 443 in remote.c; I'll have something this evening if nobody beats me to it. For now, you can comment out line 444 (except for a semicolon) to disable the check that's in your way. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
