Branch names can contain slashes, so we can use 'development/foo' as a branch name. If I choose 'development' as a branch name, it doesn't work. There is a directory named development at '.git/refs/heads' directory. So we cannot create a file named development for 'refs/heads/development'. An error message may occurs like below. Unfortunately, It is not of help to me. 'error: 'refs/heads/development/foo' exists; cannot create 'refs/heads/development'.
Assuming that the wording of the error message is not considered part of the external API, it is trivial to change it. What do you suggest? Michael -- Michael Haggerty mhagger@alum.mit.edu http://softwareswirl.blogspot.com/
