The current state of the discussion on alternate ref backends is that we're going to continue to store pseudorefs (e.g. CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) as files in $GIT_DIR. So this re-roll of the refs backend preamble doesn't do anything to pseudorefs. It just does reflog stuff.
In addition, this version removes the over-aggressive die() on reflog update failure from v7. It adds the REF_FORCE_CREATE_REFLOG flag, as Michael Haggerty suggested. And it fixes commit message or two, as suggested. I believe this addresses all comments I've seen on v7. This addresses Johannes Sixt's concerns too, by removing the offending code. -- 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
