... is need for disambiguation.
Yes. I don't know if they are documented anywhere, but the complete
lookup order is:
$ git grep -h -A8 ref_rev_parse_rules refs.c
const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = {
"%.*s",
"refs/%.*s",
"refs/tags/%.*s",
"refs/heads/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD",
NULL
};
===end===
Thanks. Indeed, it works as expected when I play around with the log command.
But I wonder if some commands work differently or specifically don't look in remotes. I "learned" to qualify everything when I accidently created a local branch named pub/xxx instead of using remotes/pub/xxx like I intended. I don't remember what that was, but I'm guessing that maybe refs that are a destination are different, as you are only supposed to change your local stuff. I think that was a "pull" command, before I had the automatic argument in the config file.
