Dear diary, on Wed, Sep 13, 2006 at 05:17:59PM CEST, I got a letter where Jon Smirl <jonsmirl@gmail.com> said that... > Abandoned branches are common in CVS since it is not distributed. > People start working on something in the main repo and then decide it > was a bad idea. In the git world these branches usually don't end up > in the main repo. Can't you just toss the branch away in that case? :-) You could also stash the ref to refs/heads-abandoned/ instead of refs/heads/ if you want to keep the junk around for some reason. Of course you don't get the nice marker with explanation of why is this abandoned and who decided that, but you can just use an empty commit for the same purpose. Object classes are precious things and we shouldn't get carried away. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Snow falling on Perl. White noise covering line noise.
