From 605fac8b5bd6d4a2ca817631e2c56ba2d0a1ed91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 17:11:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] update HEAD reflog when branch pointed to by HEAD is directly modified The HEAD reflog is updated as well as the reflog for the branch pointed to by HEAD whenever it is referenced with "HEAD". There are some cases where a specific branch may be modified directly. In those cases, the HEAD reflog should be updated as well if it is a symref to that branch in order to be consistent.
