Unfortunately, I think this issue is a little more complicated. There's some prior discussion in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/284022 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/276456/focus=276506 The latter, in particular, shows a case where this approach will do the wrong thing. The fundamental issue is that refs are potentially stored in _two_ places: the filesystem, and the packed-refs file. And the latter is always case-sensitive, while the former sometimes is and sometimes isn't. But because the storage all happens behind the scenes, the user has no way of reliably disambiguating (e.g., does "foo" refer to your checked-out "FOO", or are you intentionally trying to delete an extraneous "FOO" that ended up in the packed-refs file?). -Peff -- 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
