All correct. Allowing '/' in branch names came about not with a careful design but was done by a happy accident, and we accepted it under the condition "as long as users know that they cannot have branches D and D/F at the same time, that is fine". An obvious alternative convention you can adopt would be to use not '/' but some other separating characters (e.g. "_") as your hierarchy delimiter, if you must have D and D_F at the same time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
