Subject: preventing checking out remote branch in gitk
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2009 15:21:41 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrnh2ie05.8mr.sitaramc@sitaramc.homelinux.net> (raw)

Hello,

I have a fair number of new users, mostly refugees from VSS
and SVN, and they do use the GUIs a fair bit.

And they keep doing this :-)  I know what you're thinking:
teach them not to do it...

But doing this at the command line gives you a nice warning,
and a GUI is (like it or not) considered more "safe" (aka
less powerful).  So it should go one better and just refuse
:-)

Is there any way we can disable "Checkout this branch" for
branches that are not local in gitk?  I'm willing to play
around with the code and test it if someone can give me a
couple of pointers at least.

Thanks,

Sitaram
