[PATCH] Bisect reset: remove bisect refs that may have been packed.

From
Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date
Nov 15, 2007, 06:40 UTC
Message-ID
<20071115074013.8981761d.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

If refs were ever packed in the middle of bisection, the bisect refs were not removed from the "packed-refs" file.

This patch fixes this problem by using "git update-ref -d $ref $hash" in "bisect_clean_state".
