Subject: [PATCH] checkout: do not corrupt HEAD on empty repo
Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 18:05:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336493114-4984-1-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com> (raw)
In abe1998 ("git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn
branch"), a code-path overly-optimisticly assumed that a
branch-name was specified. This is not always the case, and as
a result a NULL-pointer was attempted printed to .git/HEAD.
This could lead to at least two different failure modes:
1) The CRT formated the NULL-string as something useful (e.g
"(null)")
2) The CRT crasheed.
Neither were very convenient for formatting a new HEAD-reference.
To fix this, reintroduce some strictness so we only take this
new codepath if a banch-name was specified.
