Since c85c792 (pull --rebase: be cleverer with rebased upstream branches, 2008-01-26), "git pull --rebase" has used the reflog to try to rebase from the old upstream onto the new upstream.

Make this work if the local repository is explicitly passed on the command line as in 'git pull --rebase . foo'. --- I removed some seemingly unnecessary variables. I couldn't find any uses of them in the callers' code either, so it should be safe...

I apparently introduced a call to sed as well. I think I remember seeing some guideslines about the use of sed in Git, but I can't remember what. I couldn't find anything in the CodingGuidelines either. Is the code below ok?

Re: [PATCH] Use reflog in 'pull --rebase . foo'

I see, maybe just dropping the middle part of the patch would be better. I think it looks like I have lost a '.*' in there as well (test cases pass though, so I'm not sure). Anyway, better be safe than sorry. The following seems better.

They are not equivalent, the last line (echo $(git for-each-ref...)) is always executed, not only when ask for the default remote. When $origin != $default the last line does not return the correct answer. It should return nothing, it is not well defined. Or maybe it should return the branch pointed by $origin/HEAD (I cannot test right now what 'git pull $remote-not-the-default' merges).

And it has nothing to do with letting 'pull --rebase . for" work.

For the rest I think they are OK, and make sense.

You are right, of course. I think I was modifying the code to try to understand how it behaved and it should not have been part of the patch. Sorry about that.

Junio, will you just exclude that hunk?

After thinking (and testing) this again, I see now that I was wrong, the behavior is identical. But I find it more difficult to follow, but maybe it is because I wrote the original.
