Subject: [PATCH 03/11] remote: warn loud and clear when .git/branches/ is *still* used
Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 15:47:43 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5da6c76ca5f6805ad868b361b27ae61d8427819a.1494509599.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1494509599.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Since at least 5751f49010e (Move remote parsing into a library file out
of builtin-push., 2007-05-12), we strongly prefer remotes and upstream
branches to be specified in the config rather than .git/remotes/ and
.git/branches/.

For some time, we still retained compatibility with Cogito (which was an
excellent project demonstrating many useful features that eventually
were integrated into Git proper) by creating the branches/ subdirectory
upon git-init.

In preparation for removing support for this ancient compatibility that
should no longer be necessary, let's warn everybody who is still using
that feature (if there is anybody left, that is).
