PATCH 4/4 refs: read FETCH_HEAD generically

In reply to Han-Wen Nienhuys via GitGitGadget

From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <[email protected]>

The FETCH_HEAD ref must be stored in a file, regardless of the type of ref backend. This is because it can hold more than just a single ref.

To accomodate FETCH_HEAD for alternate ref backends, read FETCH_HEAD from a file generically in refs_read_raw_ref()

PATCH v2 4/4 refs: read FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD generically

In reply to Han-Wen Nienhuys via GitGitGadget

From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <[email protected]>

The FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD refs must be stored in a file, regardless of the type of ref backend. This is because they can hold more than just a single ref.

To accomodate them for alternate ref backends, read them from a file generically in refs_read_raw_ref()

Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] Handle FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD generically

In reply to Han-Wen Nienhuys via GitGitGadget

This moves the FETCH_HEAD handling into refs.c as discussed in
https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/

Thanks. The way the support for MERGE_HEAD is added to the series looks very sensible, too.

Will replace.
