We auctex developers have new "main" branch as our development branch which
obsoletes the old "master" branch. I have already pushed the old "master"
branch as "auctex-13" for archiving purposes.
Now I would like to delete the "master" branch (because that's still what git
would check out when cloning the repository) but git refuses to do so:
❯ git push origin :master
remote: error: By default, deleting the current branch is denied, because the
next
remote: 'git clone' won't result in any file checked out, causing confusion.
remote:
remote: You can set 'receive.denyDeleteCurrent' configuration variable to
remote: 'warn' or 'ignore' in the remote repository to allow deleting the
remote: current branch, with or without a warning message.
remote:
remote: To squelch this message, you can set it to 'refuse'.
remote: error: refusing to delete the current branch: refs/heads/master
To git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/auctex.git
! [remote rejected] master (deletion of the current branch prohibited)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/auctex.git'
Could you please unprotect the "master" branch so that I can delete it. And
while we are at it, please protect the "main" branch (if it's not already
protected) so that this branch cannot be deleted or force-pushed?
Thanks,
Tassilo
