[PATCH 23/23] remote: use exact HEAD lookup if it is available

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx>

Our usual method for determining the ref pointed to by HEAD
is to compare HEAD's sha1 to the sha1 of all refs, trying to
find a unique match.

However, some transports actually get to look at HEAD
directly; we should make use of that information when it is
available.  Currently, only http remotes support this
feature.
