From 38eedc634bc5d30e8a7a2356d9eb3ae95d9b1d75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:39:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] git check-ref-format --print Tolerating empty path components in ref names means each ref does not have a unique name. This creates difficulty for porcelains that want to see if two branches are equal. Add a helper associating to each ref a canonical name. If a user asks a porcelain to create a ref "refs/heads//master", the porcelain can run "git check-ref-format --print refs/heads//master" and only deal with "refs/heads/master" from then on.
