remote.c: remove BUG in show_push_unqualified_ref_name_error()
- In the case where a non-existent oid is given as the <src> for a
- refspec and the destination is unqualified, we end up hitting the BUG in
- show_push_unqualified_ref_name_error().
+ When "git push <remote> <src>:<dst>" does not spell out the
+ destination side of the ref fully, and when <src> is not given
+ as a reference but an object name, the code tries to give advice
+ messages based on the type of that object.
- This is because before hitting this advise message, the <src> is passed
- through repo_get_oid() which, upon receiving a fully qualified oid,
- doesn't actually check the existence of the object and just returns
- found. This means that it's actually possible for the
- odb_read_object_info() call to return not found under normal usage and
- thus, it's not actually a bug.
+ The type is determined by calling odb_read_object_info() and
+ signalled by its return value. The code however reported a
+ programming error with BUG() when this function said that there
+ is no such object, which happens when the object name is given
+ as a full hexadecimal (if the object name is given as a partial
+ hexadecimal or an non-existing ref, the function would have died
+ without returning, so this BUG() wouldn't have triggered). This
+ is wrong. It is an ordinary end-user mistake to give an object
+ name that does not exist and treated as such.
- Replace the BUG() with an advise() displaying a helpful message about
- the oid possibly not existing.
+ Helped-by: Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]
