23 * Sets branch.<new_ref>.{remote,merge} config settings such that
24 * new_ref tracks orig_ref according to the specified tracking mode.
26 * - new_ref is the name of the branch that we are setting tracking
27 * for.
29 * - orig_ref is the name of the ref that is 'upstream' of new_ref.
30 * orig_ref will be expanded with DWIM so that the config settings
31 * are in the correct format e.g. "refs/remotes/origin/main" instead
32 * of "origin/main".
34 * - track is the tracking mode e.g. BRANCH_TRACK_REMOTE causes
35 * new_ref to track orig_ref directly, whereas BRANCH_TRACK_INHERIT
36 * causes new_ref to track whatever orig_ref tracks.
38 * - quiet suppresses tracking information.

45 * Creates a new branch, where:
47 * - r is the repository to add a branch to
49 * - name is the new branch name
51 * - start_name is the name of the existing branch that the new branch should
52 * start from
54 * - force enables overwriting an existing (non-head) branch
56 * - clobber_head_ok, when enabled with 'force', allows the currently
57 * checked out (head) branch to be overwritten
59 * - reflog creates a reflog for the branch
61 * - quiet suppresses tracking information
63 * - track causes the new branch to be configured to merge the remote branch
64 * that start_name is a tracking branch for (if any).
66 * - dry_run causes the branch to be validated but not created.

73 int dry_run);
76 * Creates a new branch in a repository and its submodules (and its
77 * submodules, recursively). The parameters are mostly analogous to
78 * those of create_branch() except for start_name, which is represented
79 * by two different parameters:
81 * - start_commitish is the commit-ish, in repository r, that determines
82 * which commits the branches will point to. The superproject branch
83 * will point to the commit of start_commitish and the submodule
84 * branches will point to the gitlink commit oids in start_commitish's
85 * tree.
87 * - tracking_name is the name of the ref, in repository r, that will be
88 * used to set up tracking information. This value is propagated to
89 * all submodules, which will evaluate the ref using their own ref
90 * stores. If NULL, this defaults to start_commitish.
92 * When this function is called on the superproject, start_commitish
93 * can be any user-provided ref and tracking_name can be NULL (similar
94 * to create_branches()). But when recursing through submodules,
95 * start_commitish is the plain gitlink commit oid. Since the oid cannot
96 * be used for tracking information, tracking_name is propagated and
97 * used for tracking instead.
