* Prevent force-updating of the current branchConrad Irwin2011-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it). "git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD. "git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with a fatal error. Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from updating the current branch. We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was actually trying to do.

* Change incorrect "remote branch" to "remote tracking branch" in C codeMatthieu Moy2010-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Just like we did for documentation already) In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the refs/remotes/ hierarchy" to avoid the ugly "non-remote-tracking branch". The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this case (i.e. prefixcmp(refname, "refs/remotes")). Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by merge an fmt-merge-msg). Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Make git-clone respect branch.autosetuprebaseJunio C Hamano2009-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When git-clone creates an initial branch it was not checking the branch.autosetuprebase configuration option (which may exist in ~/.gitconfig). Refactor the code used by "git branch" to create a new branch, and use it instead of the insufficiently duplicated code in builtin-clone. Changes are partly, and the test is mostly, based on the previous work by Pat Notz. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* branch: optionally setup branch.*.merge from upstream local branchesJay Soffian2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the tracking configuration), but now it correctly does. The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to "always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line. Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches. Includes test cases for the new functionality.

* Move code to clean up after a branch change to branch.cDaniel Barkalow2008-02-09

* Move create_branch into a library fileDaniel Barkalow2008-02-09
You can also create branches, in exactly the same way, with checkout -b. This introduces branch.{c,h} library files for doing porcelain-level operations on branches (such as creating them with their appropriate default configuration). Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org>
