Although it is not a reason _bad enough_ to make your patch a bad idea, perhaps you should rethink the problem at the same time? Whatever you are trying to do cannot be done without manually invoking update-ref directly by the end user, perhaps that needs to be addressed? -- 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
