Jonathan Nieder	39bd6f7261	Allow checkout -B <current-branch> to update the current branch When on master, "git checkout -B master <commit>" is a more natural way to say "git reset --keep <commit>", which was originally invented for the exact purpose of moving to the named commit while keeping the local changes around.

Junio C Hamano	6f9a332144	branch: add read_branch_desc() helper function This will be used by various callers that make use of the branch description throughout the system, so that if we need to update the implementation the callers do not have to be modified.

Junio C Hamano	fa79937675	branch --set-upstream: regression fix The "git branch" command, while not in listing mode, calls create_branch() even when the target branch already exists, and it does so even when it is not interested in updating the value of the branch (i.e. the name of the commit object that sits at the tip of the existing branch). This happens when the command is run with "--set-upstream" option. The earlier safety-measure to prevent "git branch -f $branch $commit" from updating the currently checked out branch did not take it into account, and we no longer can update the tracking information of the current branch. Minimally fix this regression by telling the validation code if it is called to really update the value of a potentially existing branch, or if the caller merely is interested in updating auxiliary aspects of a branch.

Conrad Irwin	55c4a67307	Prevent force-updating of the current branch "git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it). "git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD. "git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with a fatal error. Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from updating the current branch. We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was actually trying to do.

Matthieu Moy	13931236b9	Change incorrect "remote branch" to "remote tracking branch" in C code (Just like we did for documentation already) In the process, we change "non-remote branch" to "branch outside the refs/remotes/ hierarchy" to avoid the ugly "non-remote-tracking branch". The new formulation actually corresponds to how the code detects this case (i.e. prefixcmp(refname, "refs/remotes")). Also, we use 'remote-tracking branch' in generated merge messages (by merge an fmt-merge-msg).

Junio C Hamano	a9f2c13685	Make git-clone respect branch.autosetuprebase When git-clone creates an initial branch it was not checking the branch.autosetuprebase configuration option (which may exist in ~/.gitconfig). Refactor the code used by "git branch" to create a new branch, and use it instead of the insufficiently duplicated code in builtin-clone. Changes are partly, and the test is mostly, based on the previous work by Pat Notz. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	16 years ago
Jay Soffian	9ed36cfa35	branch: optionally setup branch..merge from upstream local branches "git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the tracking configuration), but now it correctly does. The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to "always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line. Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior of only setting up branch..merge for remote upstream branches. Includes test cases for the new functionality.

Daniel Barkalow	e496c00348	Move create_branch into a library file You can also create branches, in exactly the same way, with checkout -b. This introduces branch.{c,h} library files for doing porcelain-level operations on branches (such as creating them with their appropriate default configuration).
