From c1921c184c464e313308e4ef58e28ca78a5b2127 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 19:03:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] clone: always fetch remote HEAD In most cases, fetching the remote HEAD explicitly is unnecessary. It's just a symref pointing to a branch which we are already fetching, so we will already ask for its sha1. However, if the remote has a detached HEAD, things are less certain. We do not ask for HEAD's sha1, but we do try to write it into a local detached HEAD. In most cases this is fine, as the remote HEAD is pointing to some part of the history graph that we will fetch via the refs. But if the remote HEAD points to an "orphan" commit (one which was is not an ancestor of any refs), then we will not have the object, and update_ref will complain when we try to write the detached HEAD, aborting the whole clone. This patch makes clone always explicitly ask the remote for the sha1 of its HEAD commit. In the non-detached case, this is a no-op, as we were going to ask for that sha1 anyway. In the regular detached case, this will add an extra "want" to the protocol negotiation, but will not change the history that gets sent. And in the detached orphan case, we will fetch the orphaned history so that we can write it into our local detached HEAD.
