Subject: [PATCH] clone: Supply the right commit hash to post-checkout when -b is used
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:11:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091013221109.GA30972@atjola.homenet> (raw)

When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the
remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the
new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong.

So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the
post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always
correctly setup, even if -b is not used.

This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a
remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case
remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.
