Johan Herland	9ab55daa55	git symbolic-ref --delete $symref Teach symbolic-ref to delete symrefs by adding the -d/--delete option to git-symbolic-ref. Both proper and dangling symrefs are deleted by this option, but other refs - or anything else that is not a symref - is not. The symref deletion is performed by first verifying that we are given a proper symref, and then invoking delete_ref() on it with the REF_NODEREF flag.

Jonathan Nieder	a48fcd8369	tests: add missing && Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide failures from earlier commands in the chain. Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or test_might_fail. The examples in this patch do not require that.

Jeff King	e9cc02f0e4	symbolic-ref: allow refs/<whatever> in HEAD Commit `afe5d3d5` introduced a safety valve to symbolic-ref to disallow installing an invalid HEAD. It was accompanied by `b229d18a`, which changed validate_headref to require that HEAD contain a pointer to refs/heads/ instead of just refs/. Therefore, the safety valve also checked for refs/heads/. As it turns out, topgit is using refs/top-bases/ in HEAD, leading us to re-loosen (at least temporarily) the validate_headref check made in `b229d18a`. This patch does the corresponding loosening for the symbolic-ref safety valve, so that the two are in agreement once more.

Jeff King	afe5d3d516	symbolic ref: refuse non-ref targets in HEAD When calling "git symbolic-ref" it is easy to forget that the target must be a fully qualified ref. E.g., you might accidentally do: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD master Unfortunately, this is very difficult to recover from, because the bogus contents of HEAD make git believe we are no longer in a git repository (as is_git_dir explicitly checks for "^refs/heads/" in the HEAD target). So immediately trying to fix the situation doesn't work: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/master fatal: Not a git repository and one is left editing the .git/HEAD file manually. Furthermore, one might be tempted to use symbolic-ref to set up a detached HEAD: $ git symbolic-ref HEAD `git rev-parse HEAD` which sets up an even more bogus HEAD: $ cat .git/HEAD ref: 1a9ace4f2ad4176148e61b5a85cd63d5604aac6d This patch introduces a small safety valve to prevent the specific case of anything not starting with refs/heads/ to go into HEAD. The scope of the safety valve is intentionally very limited, to make sure that we are not preventing any behavior that would otherwise be valid (like pointing a different symref than HEAD outside of refs/heads/).
