On the process of making 'git' give more useful error messages when trying to rename a branch[0], I found a few things that could be cleaned up. After noticing that the cleanup commits exceeded the commits that are related to the series, I thought it would be better to separate the cleanups into an independent series to keep that topic focused on improving the error messages.
1/4 and 2/4 were part of that series until v3. The others are new cleanups. This series goes on top of 'master' and can be found in my fork as branch 'work/branch-cleanups'[1]. Note: 1/4 might possibly have some conflicts with jc/branch-name-sanity Footnotes: [0]: cf. <20171102065407.25404-1-kaartic.sivar...@gmail.com> [1]: https://github.com/sivaraam/git/tree/work/branch-cleanups Kaartic Sivaraam (4): branch: improve documentation and naming of create_branch() parameters branch: group related arguments of create_branch() branch: update warning message shown when copying a misnamed branch builtin/branch: strip refs/heads/ using skip_prefix branch.c | 4 ++-- branch.h | 10 ++++++++-- builtin/branch.c | 20 +++++++++++++------- builtin/checkout.c | 2 +- 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) -- 2.15.0.291.g0d8980c5d
