Subject: [BUG?] git remote rm repo nukes local refs for mirror repo
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:05:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48F460DB.9030209@drmicha.warpmail.net> (raw)
I just noticed the hard way that "git remote rm repo" nukes all local
(mirrored) refs if repo had been setup with "git remote add --mirror
repo url".
Some may argue that this behaviour fits the description "deletes all
remote tracking branches" but I would claim it does not: mirrored
branches are not remote tracking branches in the proper sense.
So:
- Is this behaviour intended?
- If yes, how else would I remove a remote mirror configuration without
destroying a local repo? git config, I know, but that can't be the way.
Michael
Technical:
remote_find_tracking() in remote.c returns "branch" as the remote
tracking branch of "branch" (itself) in a mirror setup. Is this the
right thing to do?
