Okay, somehow I missed that. To reiterate the things from that discussion that I think are most reasonable: 1) a local broken symref should generally be ignored unless we actually need the symref. 2) there should be a more convenient (porcelain) way to change a refs/remotes/foo/HEAD symref, e.g. git remote set-default, possibly with an option to re-sync from the remote head (we could even make that an option for git remote update). Regarding 2): if we managed to add an option to that to change the remote HEAD, we could disallow deleting a remote branch that HEAD points to, and refer to this command. I think the problem is that we would have to add symref updating logic for all types of remote protocols. If people agree with these ideas I think I'll write up a couple of patches to implement these changes. So, any protests? -Jan -- 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
