I did not hear much from the people involved since this message, but I have a bit less ugly solution along the lines outlined above, in the proposed updates branch. Incidentally this would also simplify Martin's git-findtags, especially if we do not worry about its '-t' option. I'll be sending 3-patch series; the first two are preparatory but what may be useful for Pasky and Martin is in the third one. [PATCH] Ignore funny refname sent from remote. [PATCH] Introduce notation "ref^{type}". [PATCH] Show peeled onion from upload-pack and server-info. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Fri Oct 14 16:04:13 2005
