I guess we can't do what I would like, but its no big deal. Like someone else said we'll just remember not to use it! :) Thanks anyway, Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Just replace the branch with a tag (possibly annotated). The "trick" is that tags point to lines of history, just like branches, but they don't move. There's no problem with using tags to refer to history--be it `git diff`, `gitk` etc. Assuming that branch to be freezed is called "feaure", do something like this: $ git checkout master $ git tag -a feature feature ...Write up a tag message explaining the freeze... $ git branch -D feature $ git push github :feature feature The last command will first delete the branch "feature" in the remote repository and then push the same named tag there effectively replacing the branch with the tag. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

You can modify your hooks to block it, but I would think that simply choosing to not use it should be sufficient. :) Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] "Freeze" a branch
Hi, I have a branch on github that was used for development for the last 18 months, but it has now been merged back into master. I will be removing it shortly, but am keeping it just in case anything odd crops up, or folks have local versions they are working against and submit a patch in the next couple of weeks. But .. I don't want to use the branch, any pushes to github must go against master, since this branch will be deleted soon. is there a way of 'freezing' or 'hiding' a remote branch so no updates can be pushed (and ideally, it cannot be cloned either) ?
