Subject: Since 2.7.0 git branch displays symbolic references as ref -> ref instead of ref -> branch
Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2016 14:54:22 +1200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <570085DE.9000002@orcon.net.nz> (raw)
Given the following symbolic reference:
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/m refs/heads/master
Correct in 2.6.6:
$ PATH=~/git/git-2.6.6:$PATH git branch
m -> master
* master
Wrong in 2.7.0:
$ PATH=~/git/git-2.7.0:$PATH git branch
m -> m
* master
Still wrong in current version 2.8.0:
$ PATH=~/git/git-2.8.0:$PATH git branch
m -> m
* master
As the new output isn't very useful, I assume this is an
unintentional bug/regression.
The 2.6.6 output has been used since at least version 1.7.12.4
(when I first started making use of this ability).
