Subject: [PATCH v3 05/10] replace: make sure --edit results in a different object
Date: Sat, 17 May 2014 14:16:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140517121640.27582.3418.chriscool@tuxfamily.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140517120649.27582.58609.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

It's a bad idea to create a replace ref for an object
that points to the original object itself.

That's why we have to check if the result from editing
the original object is a different object and error out
if it isn't.
