Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] pull: fix handling of multiple heads
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2021 05:04:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <768dec715582640ca6a48b3e158d1a61e422d0cc.1626930290.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1049.v3.git.git.1626930290.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

With multiple heads, we should not allow rebasing or fast-forwarding.
Make sure any fast-forward request calls out specifically the fact that
multiple branches are in play.  Also, since we cannot fast-forward to
multiple branches, fix our computation of can_ff.
