Subject: [PATCH 14/19] branch -d: avoid repeated symref resolution
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 20:10:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140911031003.GR18279@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140911030318.GD18279@google.com>
If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting,
it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d":
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense
$ git branch -d nonsense
error: branch 'nonsense' not found.
Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs
either:
$ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense
error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links
Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NODEREF flag
and passing it when appropriate.
Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a
message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will
resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.
