No, I don't _think_ so. refs is everything from the remote side (tags, etc). I want to only match those things under refs/heads. I think I have to do something like this (this is more or less what builtin-clone does): struct ref *remote_refs, *mapped_refs = NULL; struct refspec branch_refspec; branch_refspec.force = 0; branch_refspec.src = branch_refspec.dst = "refs/heads"; remote_refs = transport_get_remote_refs(transport); get_fetch_map(remote_refs, branch_refspec, &mapped_refs, 0); head_points_at = locate_head(refs, mapped_refs, NULL); > I'd somehow thought I'd moved locate_head() somewhere common, but it > really ought to be done.

I think for http://, but not for git://, but I'm *far* from an expert in this area. j. -- 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
