From: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:35:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix branches file configuration Fetched remote branch from .git/branches/foo should fetch into refs/heads/foo. Also when partial URL is given, the fetched head should always be remote HEAD, and the result should not be stored anywhere.

This is a 1.5.4 regression fix, together with "push --tags" fix > we discussed today. Actually there seems to be one more difference.
