Is it really that valuable? If it were: git notes merge master I could see somebody running that accidentally. But we are talking about somebody who is already fully-qualifying a ref (and anything unqualified continues to get looked up under refs/notes). Do people really go to the length of qualifying the ref and then get confused or upset that git did exactly what they asked it to do? I'm worried that the end-user safety here is really a strawman, and we are making this more complicated than it needs to be. -Peff -- 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
