Junio C Hamano	5035242c47	checkout: do not get confused with ambiguous tag/branch names Although it is not advisable, we have always allowed a branch and a tag to have the same basename (i.e. it is not illegal to have refs/heads/frotz and refs/tags/frotz at the same time). When talking about a specific commit, the interpretation of 'frotz' has always been "use tag and then check branch", although we warn when ambiguities exist. However "git checkout $name" is defined to (1) first see if it matches the branch name, and if so switch to that branch; (2) otherwise it is an instruction to detach HEAD to point at the commit named by $name. We did not follow this definition when $name appeared under both refs/heads/ and refs/tags/ -- we switched to the branch but read the tree from the tagged commit, which was utterly bogus.

Junio C Hamano	fdc99cbbdc	checkout: allow detaching to HEAD even when switching to the tip of a branch You cannot currently checkout the tip of an existing branch without moving to the branch. This allows you to detach your HEAD and place it at such a commit, with: $ git checkout master^0 Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago

Junio C Hamano	d7ebd53d37	git-checkout -m: fix merge case Commit `c1a4278e` switched the "merging checkout" implementation from 3-way read-tree to merge-recursive, but forgot that merge-recursive will signal an unmerged state with its own exit status code. This prevented the clean-up phase (paths cleanly merged should not be updated in the index) from running. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Junio C Hamano	c1a4278ee3	Use merge-recursive in git-checkout -m (branch switching) This allows "git checkout -m <other-branch>" to notice renames and carry local changes in the working tree forward. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	18 years ago
Shawn Pearce	5a03e7f253	Allow git-checkout when on a non-existant branch. I've seen some users get into situtations where their HEAD symbolic-ref is pointing at a non-existant ref. (Sometimes this happens during clone when the remote repository lacks a 'master' branch.) If this happens the user is unable to use git-checkout to switch branches as there is no prior commit to merge from. So instead of giving the user low-level errors about how HEAD can't be resolved and how not a single revision was given change the type of checkout to be a force and go through with the user's request anyway.

Junio C Hamano	abc0267016	checkout -m: fix read-tree invocation When we updated "read-tree -m -u" to be careful about not removing untracked working tree files, we broke "checkout -m" to switch between branches. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
