If you take any valid git repo and then do the following:
git symbolic-ref HEAD master
(instead of "git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master")
then other git commands (e.g. "git log") will return this error message:
fatal: Not a git repository
I'd like to suggest two "usability" improvements:
1- changing the error message to explain why the directory is no longer
considered a git repo. Maybe something along the lines of:
fatal: Invalid reference in .git/HEAD
2- To prevent this error from happening in the first place, git-symbolic-ref
could refuse to change HEAD to a non-existent ref.
Cheers,
Francois
