Subject: strange behaviour, default branch on clone not as expected
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:50:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E89E7E1.4000907@genband.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have a bare repository on a server with (among others) branches
"atca6900-ecgl" and "ncgl". The "HEAD" file in the bare repository
contains "ref: refs/heads/ncgl" and "git branch" in the bare repository
shows an asterisk beside "ncgl".
However, if I clone the bare repository I get "atca-6900-ecgl" as the
default branch. ".git/HEAD" contains "ref: refs/heads/atca6900-ecgl".
Something that might be relevent--currently both of these branches
actually point to the same commit (Don't ask, it's a vendor thing.) thus
"refs/heads/atca6900-ecgl" and "refs/heads/ncgl" have the same contents.
I find it suspicious that atca6900-ecgl is alphabetically before ncgl
and that they point to the same commit ID...but I don't know how it
works internally so this may be just coincidence.
Any ideas what's going on? I'm using git 1.7.3.2 if it makes any
difference.
Chris
