Your reply in http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/1-8-0-git-checkout-refs-heads-foo-checks-out-branch-foo-td5999936.html suggests that one should explicitly use the refs/heads prefix to to work around ambiguities in some situations. Are there any best-practices sugestions out there about when to use the refs/heads prefix and when not? It looks like git delibaretly cuts off this prefix in some situations. I don't think my problem stems from something like "git branch refs/heads/master" Anyway, some clarifications about the usage of this prefix would be great! -- Josef Wolf j...@raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
