[PATCH 0/2] remote.c: remove erroneous BUG case
From: Denton Liu <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-04 09:43:03
In the case where one pushes a non-existent oid to an unqualified
destination, we encounter the following BUG
error: The destination you provided is not a full refname (i.e.,
starting with "refs/"). We tried to guess what you meant by:
- Looking for a ref that matches 'branch' on the remote side.
- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('0000000000000000000000000000000000000001')
is a ref in "refs/{heads,tags}/". If so we add a corresponding
refs/{heads,tags}/ prefix on the remote side.
Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.
BUG: remote.c:1221: '0000000000000000000000000000000000000001' should be commit/tag/tree/blob, is '-1'
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Aborted (core dumped)
However, this isn't actually a bug so replace it with an advise()
message.
