From fa58186c9ba50514b36ac5ef192cd7e0bc4d7780 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Vajna Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 01:05:27 +0100 Subject: git branch -m: forbid renaming of a symref There may be cases where one would really want to rename the symbolic ref without changing its value, but "git branch -m" is not such a use-case.
