Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] branch: forbid refs/heads/HEAD
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 17:12:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171114114259.8937-1-kaartic.sivaraam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171013051132.3973-1-gitster@pobox.com>
From: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
strbuf_check_branch_ref() is the central place where many codepaths
see if a proposed name is suitable for the name of a branch. It was
designed to allow us to get stricter than the check_refname_format()
check used for refnames in general, and we already use it to reject
a branch whose name begins with a '-'.
Use it to also reject "HEAD" as a branch name.

Changes in v2:
* Fixed the issue of .git/HEAD being renamed when trying to do,
$ git branch -m HEAD head
This also allows to rename a branch named HEAD that was created by accident.
cf. <1509209933.2256.4.camel@gmail.com>
* Added a test to ensure that it is possible to rename a branch named HEAD.
