From: Philippe Blain Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2024 13:54:53 GMT Subject: [PATCH v6 1/2] revision: ensure MERGE_HEAD is a ref in prepare_show_merge Message-ID: <20240228-ml-log-merge-with-cherry-pick-and-other-pseudo-heads-v6-1-8ec34c052b39@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20240228-ml-log-merge-with-cherry-pick-and-other-pseudo-heads-v6-0-8ec34c052b39@gmail.com> From: Michael Lohmann This is done to (1) ensure MERGE_HEAD is a ref, (2) obtain the oid without any prefixing by refs.c:repo_dwim_ref() (3) error out when MERGE_HEAD is a symref. Note that we avoid marking the new error message for translation as it will be done in the next commit when the message is generalized to other special refs.
