From 798c35fcd8a71a094ca68ac05d81e08c5ac8166d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Nguy=E1=BB=85n=20Th=C3=A1i=20Ng=E1=BB=8Dc=20Duy?= Date: Wed, 29 May 2013 19:12:42 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When we get 40 hex digits, we immediately assume it's an SHA-1. This is the right thing to do because we have no way else to specify an object. If there is a ref with the same object name, it will be ignored. Warn the user about this case because the ref with full object name is likely a mistake, for example git checkout -b $empty_var $(git rev-parse something) advice.object_name_warning is not documented because frankly people should not be aware about it until they encounter this situation. While at there, warn about ambiguation with abbreviated SHA-1 too.
