# [PATCH] t9104: kosherly remove remote refs 4 messages from 2018-06-01 to 2018-06-02. Participants: Christian Couder, Johannes Schindelin, Michael Haggerty, SZEDER Gábor. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/48620 ## Christian Couder, 2018-06-01 05:08 Subject: [PATCH] t9104: kosherly remove remote refs Message-ID: <20180601050833.27676-1-chriscool@tuxfamily.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20180601050833.27676-1-chriscool%40tuxfamily.org ``` As there are plans to implement other ref storage systems, let's use a way to remove remote refs that does not depend on refs being files. This makes it clear to readers that this test does not depend on which ref backend is used.

Does it have any effect at all? The synopsis in 'git update-ref's manpage indicates that '--no-deref' is only applicable when updating a ref, but not when deleting one; though the usage shown by 'git update-ref -h' doesn't indicate this. Anyway, it appears that when deleting refs no symref dereferencing is performed and '--no-deref' is simply ignored: $ git branch one $ git branch two $ git symbolic-ref ONE refs/heads/one $ git symbolic-ref TWO refs/heads/two $ cat .git/{ONE,TWO} ref: refs/heads/one ref: refs/heads/two $ git update-ref -d ONE $ git update-ref --no-deref -d TWO $ cat .git/{ONE,TWO} cat: .git/ONE: No such file or directory cat: .git/TWO: No such file or directory $ git for-each-ref 95c5b8654fd75df13ed29f43cff52287414c3877 commit refs/heads/master 95c5b8654fd75df13ed29f43cff52287414c3877 commit refs/heads/one 95c5b8654fd75df13ed29f43cff52287414c3877 commit refs/heads/two ```
