Subject: v2.9.3 and v2.10.0: `name-ref' HEAD gives wrong branch name
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2016 18:23:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160920162309.l0neYMQ3l%steffen@sdaoden.eu> (raw)

Hello again,

yah, sorry, i'm back again..
I try to find a way to find the name of the current branch in an
automated way, because i need to ensure that a commit happens on
it and no other branch.  Now the problem arises that the commit
ref at the time of that commit maybe shared in between several
different branches, but no more thereafter, of course:

  ?0[steffen@wales ]$ git branch|grep '^*'
  * stable/v14.9
  ?0[steffen@wales ]$ git name-rev --name-only HEAD
  stable/v14.8

Is there another way except looking into .git/HEAD or using sed(1)
on the output of `branch' to find the right name?
Thank you.
Ciao!
