Minor changes since from v2 set. Reposting primarily because I mucked
up the Cc: list (again) and hoping to route feedback to the appropriate
audience.
This patch set can be divided into two sets:
1. Provide useful advice for rejected tag references.
push: return reject reasons via a mask
push: add advice for rejected tag reference
Recommending a merge to resolve a rejected tag update seems
nonsensical since the tag does not come along for the ride. These
patches change the advice for rejected tags to suggest using
"push -f".
2. Require force when updating tag references, even on a fast-forward.
push: flag updates
push: flag updates that require force
push: update remote tags only with force
An email thread initiated by Angelo Borsotti did not come to a
consensus on how push should behave with regard to tag references.
I think a key point is that you currently cannot be sure your push
will not clobber a tag (lightweight or not) in the remote. Also, I
wonder what workflow would rely on this fast-forward feature of
pushed tag references that would not be better served a branch?
This patch set contains some minor updates from the previous set:
* remote.c: remove redundant check of ref->update
* transport.c: remove extraneous tab in indent
* builtin/send-pack.c: fix call to transport_print_push_status() (per
feedback from Peff)
Also, rebased against the latest master in git://github.com/peff/git.git
to pickup changes in nd/builtin-to-libgit.
