Subject: filter-branch: work correctly with ambiguous refnames
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.4-rc3~39
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=418fa3a5c9111e675d8fcd3271315c38cdb1f16b;p=git.git

filter-branch: work correctly with ambiguous refnames

'git-filter-branch branch' could fail producing the error:
"Which ref do you want to rewrite?" if existed another branch
or tag, which name was 'branch-something' or 'something/branch'.

[jc: original report and fix were done between Dmitry Potapov
and Dscho; I rewrote it using "rev-parse --symbolic-full-name"]
